Dalcinex 300 mg Injection 2 ml – Overview

Dalcinex 300 mg Injection 2 ml is an antibiotic medicine used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is effective in managing infections such as pneumonia, empyema, lung abscesses, and various gynecological infections including endometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic cellulitis, and postoperative vaginal cuff infections. It is also used in intra-abdominal infections, bloodstream infections (sepsis), and bone or joint infections.

The injection contains Clindamycin, which works by preventing bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for their growth. This action inhibits the reproduction of bacteria, helping to control and resolve infections caused by gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Clostridium perfringens.

How It Works

Clindamycin, the active ingredient in Dalcinex, targets bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping bacteria from multiplying. This bacteriostatic action controls infections without directly killing the bacteria, making it suitable for treating specific bacterial strains that thrive in low-oxygen environments.

Key Uses

Treatment of lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, empyema, and lung abscess.

Management of gynecological infections like endometritis, tubo-ovarian abscess, and pelvic cellulitis.

Treatment of intra-abdominal infections.

Control of sepsis or bloodstream infections.

Care of bone and joint infections.

It should not be used alongside live bacterial vaccines like the typhoid vaccine, as it may interfere with the vaccine’s effectiveness.
