Clinical signs of an infection may be resolved before the infection itself; do not discontinue use until the full prescribed regimen has been completed.

The following directions represent a standard use. Use exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

Directions:

1. Administer 1 to 6 mL Clinsol per 10 lbs. of body weight every 12 hours to dogs.
2. Administer 1 to 3 mL Clinsol per 5 lbs. of body weight every 24 hours to cats.
3. Discontinue use and consult your veterinarian if no improvement is seen within 3 to 4 days.
4. In most (but not all) instances, use should be limited to 28 days in dogs and 14 days in cats.

Frequency of Use:

Dogs are typically dosed twice per day; cats are typically dosed once per day. The duration of treatment varies depending on the location and severity of the infection.

If you miss a dose, administer it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the subsequent dose, though, wait and resume the regular schedule then. Do not administer a double dose of Clinsol.

Clindamycin, the active ingredient in Clinsol, is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. It quickly begins stopping bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis. Clinsol is effective against a variety of types of infections, and is often used for the treatment of serious infections.
