COMPOSITION
Contains per g:
Lincomycin HCl 222 mg
Spectinomycin HCl 444 mg
DESCRIPTION
The combination of lincomycin and spectinomycin acts additive and in some cases synergistic. Spectinomycin acts bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on the dose, against mainly Gram-negative bacteria like Campylobacter, E. coli, and Salmonella spp. and against Mycoplasma. Lincomycin has a bacteriostatic or bactericidal action against mainly Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Treponema spp. and against Mycoplasma. Cross-resistance of lincomycin with macrolides can occur.
