Used For:

Serious Bacterial Infections: Lincomycin is used for infections like bone infections (osteomyelitis), respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and joint infections.
Penicillin-Allergic Patients: Often used in patients allergic to penicillin who require antibiotic treatment for susceptible infections.

Common Side Effects: Include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and injection site reactions (if given as an injection).
Serious Side Effects: Potential for severe gastrointestinal side effects, including Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (C. diff), which can lead to colitis (inflammation of the colon), anaphylaxis, or other serious allergic reactions.

Gastrointestinal Risk: Lincomycin has a high risk of causing C. diff infection, so it should only be used for serious infections and when other antibiotics are not suitable.
Kidney and Liver Function: Patients with kidney or liver impairment should use lincomycin cautiously, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only if absolutely necessary and under medical advice, as safety data is limited.
Drug Interactions: Avoid taking it with neuromuscular-blocking agents, as it can enhance their effects, and discuss any other medications with your healthcare provider.
