Description
Lincomycin Hydrochloride Product Overview
Lincomycin hydrochloride monohydrate is a white or almost white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water. Producers obtain lincomycin by fermentation with Streptomyces lincolnensis, and its strength is expressed as potency in µg of lincomycin base per mg.
Veterinary producers use it in injectables, soluble powders and premixes for pigs and poultry, often combined with spectinomycin. In human medicine, it is used in injections in some markets. Its semi-synthetic derivative Clindamycin Hydrochloride has largely replaced it in human oral products.
Lincosamides act similarly to macrolides such as Erythromycin and Azithromycin. Zyntex supplies lincomycin HCl only to companies licensed for pharmaceutical or veterinary use.
