Lynx Injection is used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible bacteria such as streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci, usually when penicillin or other suitable antibiotics cannot be used. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing lincomycin 300mg, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called lincosamides.
This medicine is used for serious infections of the chest, skin and soft tissues, and bones and joints. It stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow. It is given by a healthcare professional as an injection into a muscle or a slow drip into a vein, and your doctor will decide the dose and how long treatment lasts. It does not treat viral infections such as colds or flu.
Drinking enough fluids and getting plenty of rest, unless your doctor advises otherwise, can support recovery.
Lincomycin can cause a serious bowel infection called Clostridioides difficile colitis, during or up to several weeks after treatment. Tell your doctor straight away if you develop severe, watery or bloody diarrhoea or stomach cramps, and do not take anti-diarrhoea medicines without advice. Before treatment, tell your doctor if you have had colitis or other bowel problems, liver or kidney disease, allergies, or a nerve and muscle condition such as myasthenia gravis, and about other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your healthcare team straight away if you notice a rash, swelling or breathing difficulty. Do not stop the treatment unless your doctor advises you to do so."
