Is it OK to eat a sandwich with no cheese an hour before a dose? I take clindamycin 300 mg 4x a day (orally). I have been taking it for 3 days now and I am on a 10-day course. Also if I started clindamycin 3 days ago, can I start drinking probiotics now?
Can I eat an hour before a clindamycin dose? And can I start using probiotics today?

I just finished taking this antibiotic. My Dr. told me I could eat dairy products 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking this med and probiotics 2 hours after taking your dose, and for me it worked just fine, remember everyone reacts differently to medications, you may want to double check with you Dr. or Pharmacist.

Thank you Masso i appreciate the time you took to respond. i have called the Pharmacy and they told me the same, drink kefir 2 hours after dose. i have one more question if you don’t mind, so when i got my prescription i took it asap so around 3:30pm 3 days ago so that means i wake up at around 3:30 AM to take a dose as well but i slept till like 4:40 am and took it immediately, is it okay if i know moved my schedule a hour back to around 4:30 am?

Yes, you just started and hour does not really make any difference, just start now at 4.30 am and 4.30 pm.
