Care That Starts with You
Compounded Clindamycin Cream, often used for treating skin infections, requires specific care to maintain its efficacy and safety. Proper storage and handling can ensure you get the most out of your prescription while keeping it effective.
Keep your compounded Clindamycin Cream at room temperature, ideally between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Avoid storing it in places like bathrooms where humidity and temperature can fluctuate. According to the FDA, medications should not be exposed to extreme heat or cold, as this can degrade their active ingredients.
I once had a friend who stored her cream in a bathroom cabinet. After a few weeks, she noticed it had become less effective. This was likely due to the warm, moist environment affecting the compound's stability.
When handling your Clindamycin Cream, always ensure your hands are clean to avoid introducing contaminants. Use a clean spatula or applicator to scoop out the cream to prevent bacterial growth. The Mayo Clinic advises that touching medications with unwashed hands can introduce harmful bacteria, potentially reducing the cream's effectiveness.
After each use, make sure to tightly seal the container to prevent air exposure, which can lead to oxidation and degradation of the cream. Based on available research, individual results may vary, but proper sealing can significantly extend the shelf life of your medication.
When it's time to dispose of your compounded Clindamycin Cream, do not simply throw it in the trash. The CDC recommends following local guidelines for medication disposal to protect the environment and prevent misuse. Many pharmacies offer take-back programs where you can safely dispose of unused medications.
Remember, if you have any concerns or questions about storing or handling your Clindamycin Cream, consult your healthcare provider. They can offer personalized advice tailored to your specific needs and ensure you're using your medication effectively.
