Lincocin Soluble Powder, 400 mg/g Powder for Use in Drinking Water for Pigs and Chickens

Medicated drinking water uptake can be affected by the severity of the disease. In
case of insufficient uptake of water, pigs should be treated parenterally.
The susceptibility of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to antimicrobial agents is difficult
to test in vitro owing to technical constraints. In addition, there is a lack of clinical
breakpoints for both M. hyopneumoniae and C. perfringens. Where possible, therapy
should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information
concerning the response of enzootic pneumonia/necrotic enteritis to treatment with
lincomycin.

Special precautions for use in animals
Use of the veterinary medicinal product preferably should be based on identification
of the target pathogen and susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the
animal. See also the above special warnings for each target species.
Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account
when the veterinary medicinal product is used.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product deviating from the instructions given in the
summary of product characteristics may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant
to the lincomycin and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other
lincosamides, macrolides and streptogramin B due to the potential for cross-
resistance.
Repeated or prolonged use should be avoided by improving the farm management
and hygiene practices.
