How It Works

Lincomycin binds to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting protein synthesis. This action leads to bacterial growth inhibition and eventual cell death. Its unique structure allows for good tissue penetration, especially in bone.

Dosage

The typical adult dose is 500mg every 6 to 8 hours. For severe infections, dosage may be increased to 600mg every 8 hours. Children’s dosage is based on body weight. Always follow your doctor’s specific dosing instructions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Rarely, more serious side effects such as severe diarrhea (including C. difficile-associated diarrhea) or allergic reactions may occur. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Warning

Greenlife Lincomycin should only be used under medical supervision. It should not be used in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis. Immediate medical attention is required if severe diarrhea occurs during or after treatment.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Greenlife Lincomycin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is excreted in human milk, so caution should be exercised when administered to nursing women. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

Interaction

• May enhance the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents
• Can increase the risk of pseudomembranous colitis when used with other antibiotics
