What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE Taro-Clindamycin 1% (clindamycin phosphate) is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of DALACIN T and other antibacterial drugs, DALACIN T should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): Clinical studies of clindamycin did not include sufficient numbers of patients age 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Pediatrics Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients under the age of 12 have not been established. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00058691.PDF PM date: not printed or not captured Source product: TARO-CLINDAMYCIN; DIN 02266938; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Clindamycin in combination with primaquine may be used in patients who are intolerant to, or fail to respond to conventional therapy. TEVA-CLINDAMYCIN is indicated for prophylaxis against alpha-hemolytic (viridans group) streptococci before dental, oral and upper respiratory tract surgery. a) The prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in patients allergic to penicillin with any of the following conditions: congenital cardiac malformations, rheumatic and other acquired valvular dysfunction… https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00077874.PDF PM date: February 16, 2000 Source product: TEVA-CLINDAMYCIN; DIN 02241709; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Because of the risk of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) as described in 7 Warnings and Precautions, before selecting clindamycin the healthcare professional should consider the nature of the infection and the suitability of alternative therapy. Clindamycin Injection USP is indicated for the treatment of the following serious infections when caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the conditions listed below: • Lower respiratory infections including pneumonia, empyema… https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00085906.PDF PM date: AUG 27, 2026 Source product: CLINDAMYCIN INJECTION USP; DIN 02230540; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Other review policies

For Taro-Clindamycin, Dalacin T 1%, Dalacin C, Clindamycin Phosphate Injection USP: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
