Lincomycin Hydrochloride Tablets

[Specification] 0.25g;0.5g

[Indications] Lincomycin hydrochloride tablets are indicated for infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive cocci and anaerobic bacteria, including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft-tissue infections, and infections of the female genital tract, pelvis and abdomen; they are used as an alternative in patients who are allergic to penicillin.

[Usage and dosage] Give orally, preferably on an empty stomach. The usual adult dose is 1.5 to 2 g daily in three or four divided doses; children receive 30 to 60 mg/kg daily in three or four divided doses, and the drug should not be given to infants under 4 weeks of age. Diarrhoea must be monitored carefully because lincomycin can cause Clostridioides difficile-associated colitis.
