DESCRIPTION
Clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride is a water soluble hydrochloride salt of the ester of clindamycin and palmitic acid. Clindamycin is a semisynthetic antibiotic produced by a 7(S)-chloro-substitution of the 7(R)-hydroxyl group of the parent compound lincomycin.
The structural formula is represented below:
The chemical name for clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride is Methyl 7-chloro-6, 7, 8-trideoxy-6-(1-methyl-trans-4-propyl-L-2-pyrrolidinecarboxamido)-1-thio-L-threo-α-D-galacto-octopyranoside 2-palmitate monohydrochloride.
Clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride for oral solution, USP (Pediatric) flavored granules contains clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride for reconstitution. The drug powder appears as a white to off-white powder. The reconstituted solution appears as a clear to slightly hazy solution with no significant precipitate.
Each 5 mL contains the equivalent of 75 mg clindamycin. Inactive ingredients: natural cherry flavor, dextrin, ethylparaben, poloxamer 188, simethicone, sucrose.
