Lincomycin: reviews, use in the form of ointment and injections

Lincomycin drug reviewsDue to the specific nature of oral diseases, antibiotics are often used in modern dentistry. The most common lincomycin, belonging to the group of lincosamides. The advantage of this drug is the ability to accumulate in the bone tissue. Due to this, the active substance in the required concentration penetrates the tooth.

The need for antibiotics

Each person in the mouth are approximately 300 types of bacteria. Of these, about 30 are permanent, and the rest fall from the external environment, the digestive system and the respiratory tract. It is known that staphylococcus, Candida fungi, spirochetes and other bacteria can be found in the mouth.

Saliva in some cases inhibits the activity of these microorganisms, thereby preventing the development of inflammatory processes. However, in the presence of severe inflammation, including caries and periodontal disease, the microflora multiplies very quickly, due to which the effect of saliva is already insufficient. In this case antibiotics are prescribed.

Benefits of lincomycin

  • Drug benefitsThe drug kills a variety of microorganisms, including those species that are resistant to most antibiotics. Thus, the use of lincomycin is indicated in the presence of staphylococcus, as well as green streptococcus.
  • The effectiveness of lincomycin is maintained for a long time. This is very important, because microorganisms do not have time to develop resistance to the substance.
  • Lincomycin, which gradually accumulates in the bone tissue, prevents the active development of purulent diseases and the transfer of inflammation to the jawbone, as evidenced by numerous reviews.

In modern dentistry, lincomycin begins with ulcerative gingivitis, periodontitis and osteomyelitis. The drug is indicated not only for the treatment of existing diseases, but also for their prevention. Thus, the solution on the basis of lincomycin, used during rinsing, helps to avoid the development of caries. In addition, the use of the substance is indicated after most surgical interventions, including tooth extraction.

Dosage Forms

Lincomycin found on sale in the form of a solution for injection, ointment and tablets. Today, more often in pharmacies are represented by diplins, i.e. self-adhesive patches with a applied substance. We are talking about Diplen-dent, which is used in periodontics and other branches of modern dentistry.

Lincomycin applied plaster is called Diplen-Denta-L. This is a double-sided strip with a hydrophilic and hydrophobic layer. The first side is glued to the gum, and the second protects the sealed area from the ingress of various substances from the outside. The film is held in the oral cavity for about 6-7 hours, after which it is carefully removed and discarded. According to reviews such patches are easy to use.

The traditional form of lincomycin capsules are considered. They contain 0.25 g of the active substance. Adults during the day can eat 1-1.5 g, and children over 3 years old - about 30-60 g.

Features of the drug

Lincomycin has a number of contraindications. These include:

  • Contraindications to the drugpregnancy;
  • breastfeeding period;
  • intolerance to the substance;
  • pathology of the liver and kidneys.

Side effects:

  • dizziness;
  • increased fatigue and general weakness;
  • leukopenia;
  • hypotension;
  • diarrhea.

It must be remembered that the absorption of lincomycin depends on the amount of food consumed on the eve. Thus, the substance is absorbed on an empty stomach by 30%, and on a full stomach - only by 5%, and this concentration is considered ineffective.

When taking lincomycin alcohol is prohibited. This is explained by the fact that the half-life of the substance is significantly accelerated, which means that an insufficient amount of the substance enters the blood.

The cost of the drug depends on release forms. So, the solution for injection will cost 40-50 rubles, ointment - 20-30 rubles, Plaster Diplen-Denta-L - 400-500 rubles.

I have been drinking lincomycin for 2 days. This is just a nightmare! The whole bunch of side effects: nausea, weakness in the body and diarrhea. I did not first read the instructions, but the doctor did not warn about such a possible action. Tomorrow I'll go to the clinic, let me pick up another drug.

Last month i have severely swollen gums. I went to a friend’s dentist who prescribed lincomycin shots. After 4 days, the tumor has decreased in size, but overall health is not very. Hopefully lincomycin will help.

It is impossible to say exactly what the effect of lincomycin will be in a certain case, which is noticeable from the reviews. For this reason, before prescribing an antibiotic, an experienced physician must determine the causative agent of the inflammatory process, as well as clarify the presence or absence of an allergic reaction in a patient. Thanks to these measures, you can be sure that lincomycin will not cause discomfort.
