    You just got a "common" problem with clyndamicin: pseudomembraneous colitis is is done by a new bacterria colonizing your intestine, because the normal one has been destroyed by clinda. You have to stop using it immediately and contact your dentist/doctor, they will probably prescribe you an other antibiotic (metronidazole) to kill those new bacterias.

    My Dentist perscribed me Clindamycin to I am on my third day of it. I would definately call your dentist and tell them the issue your having. Since it'e Saturday I am guessing your Dentist is closed. Until then before you take your pill drink about four ounces of milk after you take it eat a peice of bread. The milk is supose to coat your stomache and the bread is just to keep you from vommiting. Good Luck!!
