Original Abstract of the Article

Major Research Findings

Several studies have indicated that clindamycin vaginal cream is an effective treatment option for bacterial vaginosis (BV). 2 , 23 , 17 , 14 , 1 , 18 , 11 , 22 , 9 , 15 , 21 , 19 , 12 , 25 , 3 , 6 , 5 , 16 , 20 , , 13

Some studies have shown that clindamycin vaginal cream is equally or more effective than oral metronidazole for treating BV. 23 , 1 , 3 , , 5

Moreover, clindamycin vaginal cream has been suggested as a suitable option for BV treatment in early pregnancy. 1

On the other hand, clindamycin vaginal cream can also affect beneficial vaginal flora, such as lactobacilli. 2

Furthermore, there have been reports of Clostridium difficile-induced colitis after the use of clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream. 17
