What is Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu?
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu is an antibiotic that fights bacteria.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu is used to treat severe bacterial infections in people who cannot use penicillin antibiotics.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu is used only for a severe infection. This medicine will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu indications
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu Sterile Solution is indicated in the treatment of serious infections due to susceptible strains of streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci. Its use should be reserved for penicillin-allergic patients or other patients for whom, in the judgment of the physician, a penicillin is inappropriate. Because of the risk of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis, as described in Warnings, before selecting Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu the physician should consider the nature of the infection and the suitability of less toxic alternatives (e.g., erythromycin).
Bacteriologic studies should be performed to determine the causative organisms and their susceptibility to Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu.
Indicated surgical procedures should be performed in conjunction with antibiotic therapy.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of staphylococcal infections resistant to other antibiotics and susceptible to Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu. Staphylococcal strains resistant to Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu have been recovered; culture and susceptibility studies should be done in conjunction with therapy with Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu. In the case of macrolides, partial but not complete cross-resistance may occur. The drug may be administered concomitantly with other antimicrobial agents when indicated.
Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu is not indicated in the treatment of minor bacterial infections or viral infections.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu and other antibacterial drugs, Lincomycin HCL Tai Yu should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
