CLINDAMYCIN (PEDI) 75 MG/5 ML

What it is

CLINDAMYCIN (PEDI) 75 MG/5 ML is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride” and “clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride (pediatric)”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as “solution”, “granule, for solution” and “powder, for solution” and its route as oral.

FDA lists 5 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them NorthStar Rx LLC, Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc. d/b/a Avet Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York LLC.

FDA’s Established Pharmacologic Class for it is Lincosamide Antibacterial.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 8 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 7 of them.

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

How the class comparison works

What Medicare paid

Medicare Part D paid $24.62 for 100 mL, at an average of $0.2462 per ML in 2024 (2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31) for “Clindamycin (Pediatric)” and “Clindamycin Palmitate HCl”, every strength and form sold under that name together (Medicare Part D Spending by Drug, file of 2026-06-25).

That average covers 4,953 Part D claims (fills, including refills) for 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31, across every maker, strength and form under the name.

3 of the product’s 8 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 5 do not, and the interactive card says why for each.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

• What is your cash price for 100 mL? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• How much is in the package I am getting? This page uses 100 mL; your package may hold a different amount.
• If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
