What does it do?

Lincosamide hydrochloride is an antibiotic belonging to the lincosamide class, primarily used in the treatment of bacterial infections. This component is particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria and works by inhibiting bacterial proliferation at the site of infection.

Lincosamide hydrochloride disrupts bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the bacteria from growing and reproducing. As a result, the number of bacteria at the infected site is reduced, leading to an improvement in symptoms.
