CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
For Intramuscular Use in Swine Only
LINCOMIX Injectable contains lincomycin hydrochloride, an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis var. lincolnensis, which is chemically distinct from all other clinically available antibiotics and is isolated as a white crystalline solid.
Indications For Swine
LINCOMIX Injectable 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 the staphylococci, streptococci, Erysipelothrix and Mycoplasma spp. It is also indicated for the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia.
Contraindications
As with all drugs, the use of LINCOMIX Injectable is contraindicated in animals previously found to be hypersensitive to the drug.
Warning
Swine intended for human consumption should not be slaughtered within 48 hours of latest treatment. Not for human use.
Caution
If no improvement is noted within 48 hours, consult a veterinarian.
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 And Administration
For arthritis or mycoplasma pneumonia—5 mg per pound of body weight intramuscularly once daily for three to seven days as needed. When using LINCOMIX Injectable containing 100 mg/mL, 1 mL/20 lb body weight will provide 5 mg/lb. When using LINCOMIX Injectable containing 300 mg/mL, 1 mL/60 lb body weight will provide 5 mg/lb.
