What is Lincocin?

Lincocin is an antibiotic used most often to treat upper respiratory infections and skin diseases caused by susceptible bacteria. Lincocin requires a prescription from your veterinarian, and is sold per tablet.
For: Cats and Dogs

Benefits:
Treats upper respiratory bacterial infections and skin diseases
Also effective against bacteria that infect the oral cavity and bones
Used for wound treatment
Specifically targets drug-resistant bacteria
It is rapidly absorbed for quick response

How it works:
Lincocin is an antibiotic derived from cultures of the bacterium streptomyces lincolnensis. It helps heal skin and other infections because it is transported by neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, containing enzymes which help to kill microorganisms.

Cautions:
Antibiotics can cause diarrhea. If the diarrhea is watery or has blood in it, call your veterinarian. Do not use any medication to stop the diarrhea unless your veterinarian has told you to do so. Tell your veterinarian if your pet has kidney disease, liver disease, colitis, asthma, eczema, or an allergic skin reaction, or if your pet is pregnant or lactating.
