LINCOVET contains Lincomycin which is a lincosamide antibiotic. These antibiotics are primarily
used to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections. The mechanism of action is through the
inhibition of protein synthesis within the bacterial cell. Lincosamide antibiotics can be either
bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on the antibiotic concentration and the susceptibility
of the organism.
