Lincover 500mg 16 Caps, Lincomycin
INDICATIONS: Lincomycin has proven effective in treating the following infections when caused by susceptible strains of Gram-positive aerobes such as streptococci, staphylococci and pneumococci, or susceptible anaerobic bacteria.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Lincomycin is contraindicated in patients who have previously found sensitive to clindamycin or lincomycin or any other part of the formula.
WARNINGS: Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including Lincomycin, and can vary in severity from mild to life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider the diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.
Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia. Studies indicate that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is a primary cause of "antibiotic-associated colitis." After you have established a primary diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis, therapeutic measures should be initiated. In moderate to severe cases should be taken into consideration with fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation and treatment with an antibacterial drug clinically effective against Clostridium difficile colitis.
Although lincomycin appears that diffuses into the cerebrospinal fluid levels of lincomycin to herein may be unsuitable for the treatment of meningitis. Therefore, the drug should not be used in the treatment of meningitis.
If lincomycin therapy is prolonged, tests for liver and kidney function.
The use of antibiotics can result in an overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, particularly fungi.
