Reviews
All of these antibacterial agents are in demand and are widely used for various infectious and inflammatory diseases, which are caused by microorganisms, bacteria and strains that are sensitive to the main components of the drug. Reviews show that the drugs are well tolerated and do not cause side effects and addiction. To achieve a positive result, it is necessary to use tablets and suppositories according to the dosage and instructions for use.
In pharmacies, there are many substitutes for the drug "Clindamitacin." The price of drugs is quite affordable. All drugs have a similar composition and indications for use, which combines them into one group of antibiotics (lincosamides). But to independently choose the appropriate analogue without consulting a doctor is still undesirable.
Specialists give some recommendations. If a woman has a disease of vaginal trichomoniasis, then both partners need to be treated. Only in this case can the pathogen be completely destroyed. A man is prescribed a drug based on metronidazole and nystatin, which is taken orally. Before starting treatment, an examination is necessary. Self-treatment can lead to undesirable consequences.
If the patient suffers from chronic diseases and is constantly on drug therapy, it is worth informing the attending physician about this. Antibacterial agents are far from compatible with all medicines.
