CLINDAMYCIN
ANTIINFECTIVE; ANTIBIOTIC
Clindamycin is indicated in the treatment of serious infections
caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria. used to treat a wide
variety of bacterial infections. It is an antibiotic that works by
stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial
infections
 Clindamycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, inhibits bacterial protein
synthesis by reversibly binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit,
thereby preventing the peptide bond formation, ribosome
assembly and translation process
Clindamycin is contraindicated in patients who have had an
allergic reaction to it, and it should be used with caution in those
who have a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or
antibiotic-associated colitis.
Hypersensitivity reactions may occur. If not swallowed with
water, clindamycin may cause esophagitis.
 Monitor BP and pulse in patients receiving drug
parenterally. Hypotension has occurred following IM
injection. Advise patient to remain recumbent following
drug administration until BP has stabilized.
  Report immediately the onset of watery diarrhea, with or
without fever; passage of tarry or bloody stools, pus,

FERROUS SULFATE
BLOOD FORMERS, COAGULATORS, AND
ANTICOAGULANTS, IRON PREPARATION
Used to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells
caused by having too little iron in the body).
Ferrous sulfate facilitates oxygen transport via Hb. It is used as
iron source as it replaces iron found in Hb, myoglobin and other
enzymes
Iron metabolism disorder causing increased iron storage. -an
overload of iron in the blood. -a type of blood disorder where the
red blood cells burst called hemolytic anemia. -an ulcer from too
much stomach acid. -a type of stomach irritation called gastritis.
ulcerative colitis.
Some people do experience stomach discomfort that ranges from
heartburn to nausea and vomiting, but taking ferrous sulfate with
food instead may help avoid or lessen it. Constipation or stools
that are black or green also occur
 Continue iron therapy for 2–3 months after the
hemoglobin level has returned to normal (roughly twice
the period required to normalize hemoglobin
concentration).
 Monitor bowel movements as constipation is a common
adverse effect.
