Biocine Syrup is a prescription-only lincosamide antibiotic. Each 5ml teaspoon of the oral solution contains 250mg of Lincomycin (as Lincomycin Hydrochloride).
It is prescribed primarily for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of gram-positive pathogens (such as streptococci, pneumococci, and staphylococci) when penicillin-class antibiotics cannot be used, including severe respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and bone and joint infections.
Lincomycin acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor:
Bacteriostatic / Bactericidal Action: It binds exclusively to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, suppressing protein synthesis and preventing bacteria from multiplying and growing.
Alternative Option: It serves as an effective therapeutic alternative for patients with severe allergies to penicillin.
Black Box Warning: Lincomycin therapy has been associated with severe, potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis (severe antibiotic-associated diarrhea). It should be reserved for serious infections where less toxic antimicrobials are inappropriate. Stop use and contact a doctor immediately if severe, watery, or bloody diarrhea occurs.
Hypersensitivity: Do not use if there is a known hypersensitivity or allergy to lincomycin or clindamycin.
Pediatric & Adult Oral Dosing:
Dosed strictly according to body weight and infection severity by a physician.
Children (over 1 month old): Typically 30mg to 60mg per kg of body weight per day, divided into 3 or 4 equal doses.
How to Take:
Take oral liquid doses with a full glass of water to prevent esophageal irritation.
Best taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) for optimal absorption.
Side effects can include:
Diarrhea, loose stools, nausea, or vomiting.
Mild abdominal pain or flatulence.
Skin rash, hives, or mild itching.
Store at room temperature below 30°C in a dry place away from direct light.
Keep the bottle tightly closed after each use.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
No. Lincomycin treats bacterial infections only and is ineffective against viral illnesses.
Mild loose stools can occur, but if you experience severe, persistent, or watery diarrhea during or up to several weeks after stopping treatment, contact your doctor immediately.
