I was prescribed Cleocin 300mg/2ml Inj, 2ml for a serious bacterial infection, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any severe side effects from using this medication. I've read about some serious side effects like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. So far, I've only experienced some mild stomach upset, but I'm worried about the potential for more serious issues. I'd love to hear about anyone's experiences with this drug, especially how they dealt with any severe side effects. What symptoms should I really be on the lookout for, and how can I best prevent or manage them? Does anyone have tips for dealing with the injection site pain? Also how do I know if I'm reacting badly to it?
