Lincosone Lincomycin Antibacterial Cream - 10g Tube
Minor cuts, scratches, or hair follicle infections (folliculitis) can easily become contaminated by gram-positive bacteria, leading to painful pus-filled lesions. Lincosone Cream provides targeted topical antibiotic therapy. Containing Lincomycin, a lincosamide antibiotic, it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis at the site of infection, clearing pustules and accelerating skin healing without needing systemic oral antibiotics.
How to Use / Operate
Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer 2 to 3 times daily as prescribed. Wash hands before and after applying the cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lincosone Cream used for?
It is a topical antibiotic cream used to treat bacterial skin infections, infected minor wounds, and bacterial folliculitis.
Can it be used for fungal ringworm?
No, Lincomycin kills bacteria only. It is completely ineffective against fungal infections like ringworm or athlete's foot.
Important Clinical Considerations
For external topical use only. Do not apply near eyes or ingest. Complete the full prescribed course (usually 7 days) to prevent the development of localized antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
