Clindamycin

[kim]

I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on this. Oral surgeon is recommending we start Clindamycin 4 days prior to my 16 yr. old having 4 wisdom teeth extracted.

 

I've posted about my autoimmune "rash" (more than likely guttate Psoriasis). Recently 11 yr. old popped up with a spot of what Dr. called excema on his leg. There are a few drugs that are warned about for skin reactions (certain blood pressure and anti malaria etc. are problem drugs for guttate suffers sometimes). I know many anti biotics can cause rash, but this one specifically says

Before using clindamycin, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, an intestinal disorder such as colitis or Crohns disease, or a history of asthma, eczema, or allergic skin reaction.

 

Everything that I hold my breath on (other than asthma).

 

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not Zith would be a good choice? I know oral bacteria may be different than what you might get for prevention of bacterial infection elsewhere. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Kim,

here's a link with antibiotics for dental procedures http://prod.hopkins-abxguide.org/diagnosis...stanceId=255307 I don't know if that helps.

I do know of someone who was on Azith. for severe dental issues.
