Special instructions
Before prescribing the drug, the following possible causative agents of vulvovaginitis should be excluded using special laboratory methods: Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Candida albicans and Herpes simplex virus.
Intravaginal use of Dalatsin can lead to increased growth of microorganisms that are insensitive to the drug, especially yeast-like fungi.
When using the drug, systemic absorption of clindamycin is possible. With systemic use of clindamycin, severe diarrhea and, in some cases, pseudomembranous colitis may develop. In this regard, if severe or prolonged diarrhea occurs during Dalacin therapy, it is necessary to discontinue the drug, carry out diagnostic procedures and, if necessary, prescribe appropriate treatment.
Dalacin in the form of vaginal suppositories and vaginal cream contains components that can reduce the strength of latex or rubber products (condoms, contraceptive vaginal diaphragms). Therefore, the use of such products during treatment with Dalatsin in the form of vaginal suppositories and vaginal cream is not recommended.
Active ingredient
Clindamycin
Composition
1 suppository contains clindamycin (in phosphate form) 100 mg;
excipients:
hard fat (Witepsol H-32, a mixture of triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides).
Pregnancy
Adequate and controlled studies on the use of the drug in the first trimester of pregnancy have not been conducted. The use of Dalacin in the first trimester of pregnancy is possible only if the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
When using clindamycin drugs in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in dosage forms for intravaginal administration, there was no increase in the incidence of congenital anomalies of the fetus. If Dalatsin is used in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (although no official studies have been conducted on the use of suppositories during pregnancy), then an adverse effect on the fetus seems unlikely.
Currently, there is no data on the excretion of clindamycin into breast milk during intravaginal use of Dalatsin. However, it has been found that when clindamycin is administered orally or parenterally, some of it is found in breast milk.
Therefore, when deciding on the possibility of prescribing Dalacin during lactation (breastfeeding), the expected benefit for the mother should be compared with the possible risk for the child.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincomycin or any component of Dalatsin.
Side Effects
The incidence of the following side effects is less than 10%.
From the reproductive system: irritation of the mucous membrane of the vulva and vagina, pain in the vagina, vaginal discharge, vaginal candidiasis, vulvovaginitis, trichomonas vaginitis, vaginal infections, menstrual irregularities, uterine bleeding, abnormal birth, endometriosis.
From the urinary system: dysuria, urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis), proteinuria.
From the digestive system: generalized abdominal pain, localized abdominal pain, abdominal cramps, bloating, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, bad breath, perversion of taste.
From the side of the central nervous system: dizziness, headache.
Dermatological reactions: rash, itching, maculopapular rash, erythema, skin candidiasis.
Allergic reactions: urticaria.
From the endocrine system: glucosuria, hyperthyroidism.
From the body as a whole: fungal infections, fever, flank pain, back pain, pain in the lower abdomen, generalized pain, bacterial infections, inflammatory edema, upper respiratory tract infections, nosebleeds, abnormal microbiological test results.
Local reactions: itching and pain at the injection site.
Interaction
An antagonistic interaction between clindamycin and erythromycin has been demonstrated in vitro.
It has been established that when used systemically, clindamycin disrupts neuromuscular transmission, so it is possible to enhance the effect of peripherally acting muscle relaxants. This fact should be taken into account if it is necessary to prescribe the latter with Dalatsin.
No interactions were observed in pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic or clinical studies of these dosage forms.
