Lincomycin Hydrochloride and Tramadol Capsules

• Generic Name: lincomycin
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Lincocin, Lincorex, L-Mycin, Bactramycin

Treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and other streptococci. Because of more potent antibacterial activity, clindamycin usually preferred when a lincosamide antibiotic indicated for treatment of these infections.

Reserve for treatment of serious infections when less toxic alternatives cannot be used (e.g., penicillin-allergic patients or other patients for whom a penicillin is inappropriate). Has been associated with potentially fatal colitis (see Superinfection/Clostridium difficile-associated Diarrhea and Colitis [CDAD] under Cautions); consider nature of the infection and suitability of less toxic alternatives (e.g., erythromycin).

May be used concomitantly with other anti-infectives when indicated.

Certain infections may require incision and drainage or other indicated surgical procedures in addition to anti-infective treatment; use of lincomycin does not eliminate need for surgical procedures when indicated.

Do not use for treatment of meningitis because of inadequate CNS penetration following parenteral administration.
