    INDICATIONS FOR SWINE:

    Lincomycin 300 is indicated for the treatment of infectious forms of arthritis caused by organisms sensitive to its activity.  This includes most of the organisms responsible for the various infectious arthritides in swine, such as staphylococci, streptococci, Erysipelothrix and Mycoplasma spp.  It is also indicated for the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia.

  • ADVERSE REACTIONS

    ADVERSE REACTIONS:

    The intramuscular administration to swine may cause a transient diarrhea or loose stools.  Although this effect has rarely been reported, one must be alert to the possibility that it may occur. Should this occur, it is important that the necessary steps be taken to prevent the effects of dehydration.

  • DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION
