Lincop 600mg Injection

Lincop 600mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines known as 'antibiotics'. It is used to treat various bacterial infections of the respiratory system (like pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and sinusitis), skin, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. Bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.

Lincop 600mg Injection slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Lincop 600mg Injection does not treat a viral infection like flu or a common cold.
