Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Cleocin HCl (clindamycin) 75, 150 and 300 mg capsules treat serious bacterial infections. In the U.S., the brand lists for less than brand packs sold abroad.
Cleocin cost at a glance
- The U.S. brand costs less than packs abroad. Pfizer's Cleocin HCl 150 mg lists at $14.56 for a bottle of 100 capsules, about 15 cents a capsule (Texas DSHS; bottle of 100 per the FDA drug listing). Pfizer also sells 75 mg and 300 mg capsules in the U.S.
- Generic Cleocin is sold in the U.S. The FDA has approved generic clindamycin capsules from many companies since 1989, including Sun Pharma, Aurobindo, Zydus, Glenmark and Micro Labs, rated equivalent to Cleocin HCl (FDA Orange Book). Sun's 150 mg lists at $14.35 and Aurobindo's 300 mg at $43.02 for 100 capsules (Texas DSHS).
- How we count: per capsule. The label's adult dose is 150 mg to 300 mg every 6 hours for serious infections, or 300 mg to 450 mg every 6 hours for more severe ones, for as long as your prescriber sets. So we compare prices per capsule and list each pharmacy's packs as sold.
- From online pharmacies abroad: $0.80 to $2.62 per capsule of brand Cleocin or Dalacin C 150 mg, before shipping (checked Nov 12, 2026). That's more than the U.S. brand's list price. Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
- With Medicare: your cost depends on your Part D plan. In 2026, deductibles are capped at $615 and yearly out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 (Medicare.gov).

Cleocin coupons and savings programs
We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.
eDrugSearch does not offer its own Cleocin coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. If you have Medicare, these programs can help:
- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)
Is there a generic Cleocin?
Yes. The FDA approved the first generic clindamycin capsules in 1989, and many companies sell them today, including Sun Pharma, Aurobindo, Zydus, Epic, Lannett, Glenmark and Micro Labs, rated equivalent to Cleocin HCl.
| Strength | U.S. generic | Makers | Since |

Outside the U.S.: Online pharmacies abroad may also sell generic clindamycin made for other markets. Those packs are not FDA-approved, and the price table labels them that way.

What is Cleocin used for?
Cleocin (clindamycin) is an antibiotic. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), Cleocin HCl capsules are used:
- To treat serious infections caused by susceptible anaerobic bacteria, such as some lung, skin, abdominal and pelvic infections.
- To treat serious infections caused by susceptible streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci, mainly in people who can't take penicillin.
The label's adult dose is 150 mg to 300 mg every 6 hours, or 300 mg to 450 mg every 6 hours for more severe infections, taken with a full glass of water. Boxed warning: the label carries the FDA's strongest warning. Clindamycin can cause C. difficile infection, which ranges from mild diarrhea to life-threatening colitis, even weeks after the last dose. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Cleocin from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Cleocin, the U.S. brand lists for less than brand packs sold abroad, so compare U.S. prices before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. Pfizer's Dalacin C 150 mg and 300 mg capsules are listed as cancelled in Canada since October 2024 (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12), so we don't show Canadian brand packs. An antibiotic for an active infection usually can't wait for a mailed order.
