I know they tell you not to use a tampon while on this medication but is that only at night or is that all day too? I take it at night and was wondering if during the day it was ok to use them? Mature answers only please. Thank you.

No, you cannot use tampons at any time (day or night) while using cleocin. Tampons will interfere with the proper working of the cream. Tampons would also set up a better environment for the bacteria to grow and flourish. Please hold off on the tampons until treatment is complete.

According to this info I wouldnt ……….
What should I watch for while taking clindamycin?
Tell your prescriber or health care professional if your symptoms do not begin to improve in a few days.
Do not use tampons or douches while using this medicine.
Your clothing may get soiled. To help prevent reinfection, wear freshly washed cotton, not synthetic, panties.
Do not have sex until you have finished your treatment. Having sex can make the treatment less effective.
After you finish treatment, do not use latex condoms for three days. There may still be some clindamycin in the vagina; this can damage the latex and make the condom less effective at preventing pregnancy.
Keep clindamycin out of the eyes; if you do get any in your eyes rinse out with plenty of cool tap water.
