FAQ

What dose does the pork take?

This is 0,091 g per liter of water per day, or 150 g per 1600 liters of water per day, for 4 to 7 days. The other regimen is 10 mg of combined antibiotic activity per kg of body weight for 7 consecutive days.

What is the pattern in birds?

As a preventative measure, administer 0,220 g/kg body weight per day for the first 3-5 days of life, and repeat at 4 weeks with one-third of the dose for 1 or 2 days. As a treatment, administer 0,75 g per liter of water per day for 5-7 days.

What is the waiting time for the meat?

Chicken, 5 days; swine, 0 days. It should not be given to laying hens whose eggs are intended for human consumption, either in the four weeks prior to laying or during laying.

Can it be given to horses or rabbits?

No. The manufacturer advises against its use in horses, due to the hemorrhagic colitis and severe diarrhea caused by lincomycin, and also in rabbits, hamsters, and ruminants in general due to its toxicity.

Can it be mixed with food or drinks?

It's best not to take it with other medications: food, beverages other than water, and sweeteners decrease the absorption of lincomycin. It should also not be taken with macrolides or aminoglycosides, according to the manufacturer, who makes an exception only for water.
