Read all package instructions and precautionary statements
prior to use.
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:

every 24 hours to 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.

It is a violation of Federal
Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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.
Warnings:
Keep this product out of reach of children and animals.
Do not use or store in or near open flame or heat.
Clinsol is intended for use only in the cat or dog
for which it was prescribed. Do not use in other species. This product
may cause serious adverse reactions to the gastrointestinal systems
of horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and ruminating
animals. Not for human use.
Follow your veterinarian's prescription.
CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts
this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
Symptoms of an infection can clear up prior to successful,
complete treatment of the infection. Do not stop use until the full
course of the prescription has been administered.

experiences watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, chills, aches, decreased
urinary output, dark urine, abdominal pain, diminished appetite, jaundice,

The susceptibility of an infection should be determined
before use. Use on non-susceptible microorganisms may cause overgrowth.
