Specinomycin and Lincomycin Injection 10%+5%
The combination of lincomycin and spectinomycin acts additive and in some cases synergistic. Spectinomycin acts bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on the dose, against mainly Gram-negative bacteria like Campylobacter, E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Mycoplasma.
