About Licomine Syrup

Licomine Syrup belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, bone and joint, skin and soft tissue, furuncles (boils), secondary wound infections, gynecological infection and sepsis (blood poisoning). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Licomine Syrup contains Lincomycin which works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thus, Licomine Syrup destroys bacteria.

Take Licomine Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Licomine Syrup based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, dizziness, or ringing in the ear. Most of these side effects of Licomine Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Lincomycin or other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Licomine Syrup. Licomine Syrup should be used with caution in children and only in doses advised by a doctor. If you had diarrhoea previously after receiving or taking antibiotics, inform your doctor before taking Licomine Syrup. If you have kidney problems or are undergoing dialysis, inform your doctor before taking Licomine Syrup.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Licomine Syrup to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like c-cheese, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine. 
  • Include fiber-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet. 
  • Maintain a low-sodium diet as Licomine Syrup in injection form may increase sodium levels in the blood.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Licomine Syrup.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow and infect the body. It can attack any part of the body and multiply rapidly. Bacteria are classified into three types based on their shape: spherical, rod-shaped, and spiral-shaped. Bacteria can be gram-positive (with thick cell walls) or gram-negative (with thin cell walls) (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are performed to identify bacterial strains, and appropriate medication is prescribed based on the results. Cough, fever, and tiredness are common bacterial infection symptoms.
