Patient: my dentist said I have a serious infection in my gums. he prescribed CLINDAMYCIN. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE A VERY LOW TOLERANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS. I ALSO HAVE SERIOUS IBS AND GERD. READING MORE ON THIS MEDICATION ADDS TO MY CONCERNS BECAUSE OF THE BOWEL PROBLEMS IT CAN CAUSE. SHOULD I SEEK ANOTHER MEDICATION Doctor: Hello, Thank you for consulting with healthcaremagicAs your doctor has prescribed clindamycin for gum infection, it is a good antibiotic for infection.But you should have told your dentist about your GERD problem, as it can cause you other problems. It will be better that you should consult him again and get your medication changed.Hope it will help you.Regards
