Dalacin C is indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by anaerobic bacteria and susceptible strains of streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. It is commonly prescribed for dental infections (abscesses), respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia), skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis), and certain pelvic inflammatory diseases. It is an excellent alternative for patients allergic to penicillin.
Discontinue use and contact a doctor immediately if you develop severe, persistent diarrhea. Dalacin C, like many potent antibiotics, can alter the normal flora of the colon and permit overgrowth of Clostridioides difficile, which may cause life-threatening pseudomembranous colitis. Do not take anti-diarrheal medications (like Loperamide) without consulting a professional first.
Capsules should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water to avoid throat irritation. It can be taken with or without food. The standard adult dose ranges from $150mg$ to $450mg$ every 6 hours, depending on the severity of the infection. Always complete the entire course prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Note: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Common side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and mild diarrhea. Some users may develop a skin rash or urticaria. If you experience difficulty swallowing, swelling of the face, or a severe blistering skin rash (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), seek emergency medical care immediately.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the capsules in their original blister packaging until use to protect them from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
