On the Compatibility of Clindamycin and Glycolic Acid
Doctors, the way of medication, and the suitability of compatibility are related to the safety of patients. Today's discussion on the compatibility of Clindamycin and Glycolic Acid is a matter that doctors must not miss.

Clindamycin is a lincomide antibiotic, which has a good effect on infections of Gram-positive bacteria and anaerobic bacteria. It acts on the bacterial ribosome and inhibits the synthesis of proteins to achieve antibacterial effect. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid, which is widely used in the field of skin beauty. It can accelerate the metabolism of the stratum corneum, improve the texture of the skin, and increase its luster.

However, the combination of the two must be used with caution. Glycolic acid can cause changes in skin permeability or increase the percutaneous absorption of clindamycin. Although it may enhance antibacterial power, it also increases the risk of adverse reactions. Such as skin irritation symptoms, erythema, itching, burning sensation, or exacerbated by the synergy of the two. And glycolic acid can affect the acid-base balance of the skin, while the stability of clindamycin may be disturbed by changes in its environmental acid-base, resulting in a decrease in titer or the generation of harmful substances.

Therefore, when clinical application, doctors should carefully review the skin type and severity of the patient's condition. If the patient's skin is sensitive, it is especially necessary to be vigilant when using these two. Try it on a small area first to observe its reaction, and the interval between drugs should be appropriate to avoid the harm of its interaction. Or seek alternative methods to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medication.

The way of medication is like walking on thin ice in the abyss. Examining the nature of drugs and clarifying the principle of compatibility can remove diseases from patients and live up to the responsibility of doctors.
