CAUTIONS:

1. Treated pigs may develop some stool softening or mild diarrhea within 36 hours of treatment initiation. Signs of mild irritation and swelling of the anus and/or vulva may be associated with the stool changes. On rare occasions some pigs can show reddening of the skin and irritable behaviour. Should these reactions be more severe than described above, discontinue the use of the drug.

2. Not for use in breeding swine.

3. Do not use in feeds containing pellet binding agents, except Lignin Sulfonate.

4. Good manufacturing practices should be observed in preparing feeds containing LINCOMYCIN 44 G premix. This includes appropriate clean-out procedures to avoid cross contamination. LINCOMYCIN 44 G premix must be thoroughly mixed in the feed before use.

5. Do not allow rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, horses, dairy cattle or other ruminants access to feeds containing lincomycin. Ingestion by these species may result in severe gastrointestinal effects or metabolic disorders (i.e. Ketosis in dairy cattle).

Warnings
