Mechanism of Action
Clindamycin works by stopping bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Without these proteins, bacteria cannot survive and gradually die off.
Unlike many antibiotics that act only on the surface, Clindamycin penetrates deep into tissues, making it highly effective for infections in bones, muscles, and soft tissues. Because it targets protein synthesis, clindamycin is especially useful against organisms that other cell-wall acting drugs (like beta-lactams) may miss, notably many anaerobes and some resistant Gram-positive cocci.
In simple terms, it helps stop the infection at its root and allows the body to heal faster.
