Its active ingredient, Lincomycin Hydrochloride Monohydrate, targets specific bacteria responsible for respiratory and intestinal infections, offering precise and effective treatment for farm animals and ensuring rapid relief from symptoms while minimizing disease spread.

Can LinxMed-SP be used for other animals besides swine and poultry?

No, LinxMed-SP is formulated specifically for use in swine and poultry. The safety and efficacy for other animals have not been established, so use in other species is not recommended without consulting a veterinarian.

How often should LinxMed-SP be administered to swine and poultry?

LinxMed-SP is typically administered daily through drinking water for a set duration, depending on the type of animal and severity of the infection. Swine usually receive it for 5 days, and poultry for 7 days. However, consult a veterinarian for exact dosing frequency based on specific needs.

Does LinxMed-SP require a prescription?

Yes, LinxMed-SP is a prescription antibiotic, meaning it should only be used under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. This ensures safe and appropriate use tailored to the health needs of your livestock.

How does LinxMed-SP compare to other antibiotics?

LinxMed-SP is particularly effective against Mycoplasma infections, making it more specialized than some general antibiotics. Its water-soluble formula allows easy dosing through drinking water, ideal for large-scale livestock management and efficient disease control.
