Can Amoxicillin Be Used Instead Of Clindamycin?
I just got out the hospital yesterday and I have a prescription for clindamycin 300mg capsule. When I tried to get it filled they told me it would cost over 90 dollars. I was already taking 500mg amoxicillin capsules when I went to the hospital. Can I continue taking the amoxicillin capsules instead of taking the clindamycin?

Hello.Replace Clindamycin for Amoxicillin depends on the pathology that you suffer. If you have an acute pharyngo-tonsillitis, change is possible but if you have other pathologies,change is not adequate.Go to your doctor to assess whether it is possible to replace a drug for other.
I wish you good health.
