During treatment, the animals should drink only medicated water. Medicated drinking water should be freshly prepared every 24 hours. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water is dependant on the clinical condition of animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration in drinking water may have to be adjusted. The use of suitable calibrating weighing equipment is recommended if part packs are used.

Pigs: 4 days.

Chickens: 4 days.

Eggs: 7 days.

In case of accidental ingestion or the occurrence of symptoms characterized by skin rash, seek medical advice. Serious symptoms such as face swelling, lips or eye lids, accompanied by breath difficulties, are life-threatening symptoms and need immediate medical attention.

Due to variability (time, geographical) in susceptibility of bacteria for lincomycin, bacteriological sampling and susceptibility testing of microorganisms from diseased animals on farm are highly recommended. As eradication of the target pathogens may not be achieved, medication should therefore be combined with good management practices, e.g. good hygiene, proper ventilation, no overstocking.

In studies carried out on laboratory animals no teratogenic, embryotoxic or maternal toxic effects were observed, the product can be used safely.

Lincodem 50 cannot be administered simultaneously with veterinary medicinal products containing kaolin or pectins because its absorption is blocked. It cannot be combined with macrolides and betalactams. It can be associated with all ionophore anticoccidians. It acts synergistically with aminoglycosides.

Overdose can produce gastrointestinal disorders manifested by diarrhea and/or vomiting or pseudomembranous colitis. Remove the medicated water. The animals are clinically monitored and, if necessary, supportive treatment for vital functions should be initiated.

It acts antagonistically with antibiotics from the group of beta-lactams (penicillins and cephalosporins) and macrolides (erythromycin, tylosin, tilmicosin).
