A dentist has me taking clindamycin for an infection. I am allergic to Aspirin and Penicillin. The clindamycin makes me fell like I do when I am allergic to Aspirin. My wife made me take my blood pressure and it is reading a little high at 139/99 but it was normal yesterday at my dentist appt, I am 42 years old, 6'2 239 pounds. Should I stop taking the Clindamycin?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

There are no such dangerous side effects with the drug, could cause mild diarrhae.
If you are getting the same effects with the drug i would suggest you to discontinue the use, instead try with almox 500mg BD.

Take care!
