Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Lincosin 250mg Capsule 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 Lincosin 250mg Capsule in injection form may increase sodium levels in the blood.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Lincosin 250mg Capsule.

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.
