Cleocin Vaginal Cream is an antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. It contains clindamycin phosphate. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection. Clindamycin works by binding to the bacterial ribosome, which is responsible for protein synthesis in the bacteria. This prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins that they need to grow and survive, ultimately leading to their death.

Cleocin Vaginal Cream is inserted into the vagina using an applicator and is usually used once a day before bedtime for three to seven days, depending on the severity of the infection. Finish the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is completely cleared and to prevent recurrence.

Cleocin Vaginal Cream is a medication used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Cleocin Vaginal Cream is for vaginal use only usually used once a day, preferably at bedtime, for 3 days in a row. Avoid contact of the cream with your eyes. Here are the general steps to use Cleocin Cream:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of infection.
  2. Open the tube of Cleocin Cream and attach the applicator tip.
  3. Lie on your back with your legs bent and feet on the ground or propped up on something comfortable.
  4. Insert the applicator into the vagina and gently push the plunger to release the cream.
