Lincomycin is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is effective against infections of the skin, bones, joints, and respiratory tract.
The medication is administered orally, by injection, or topically, depending on the type and severity of the infection. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by the doctor, and patients must strictly follow the recommendations.
Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, pseudomembranous colitis, a serious intestinal condition, may occur.
