when combined with piperine, the metabolism of clindamycin may experience a decrease
When bacampicillin combines with clindamycin, there may be a chance of increased risk of diarrhea.

Pregnancy Categories:     
Category A:Â well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
Category B:Â there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women. Â
Category D: adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits. Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women. Â
Category N:Â There is no data available for the drug under this category
