Fish Cin 150 mg 100 Capsules – Clindamycin Fish Antibiotics for Aquarium Use

Fish Cin 150 mg Capsules contain Clindamycin Hydrochloride 150 mg, a broad-spectrum antibiotic formulated to treat bacterial infections in ornamental and aquarium fish. Designed for both freshwater and saltwater systems, Fish Cin is commonly used to manage gram-positive and anaerobic bacterial infections affecting the skin, gills, and internal organs.

Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from multiplying and spreading throughout the aquarium. Its targeted antibacterial activity makes it especially useful for managing infections such as fin rot, mouth rot, skin lesions, abscesses, and certain internal bacterial conditions.

Important: For aquarium use only. Not for human consumption. Not for fish intended for human consumption.
