For treatment of infected wounds, abscesses, oral cavity/dental infections, administer 1 tablet per 27 kg bodyweight twice daily for 7 - 10 days (i.e. 5.5mg clindamycin per kg bodyweight every twelve hours). Treatment may be extended to a maximum of 28 days based on clinical judgement. If no improvement is seen within 4 days, the sensitivity of the pathogens involved should be redetermined.
