How much will Lincomycin cost if I have insurance?

Your out-of-pocket cost for Lincomycin depends on your specific insurance plan's formulary coverage and copay structure. To learn whether your plan covers Lincomycin and what your copay will be, contact your insurance provider directly or check your plan documents. If your plan does not cover Lincomycin or carries a high copay, you may find better prices through pharmacy discount programs or by comparing prices at different retailers. This strategy can be especially helpful for those with Medicare or Medicaid coverage who need additional cost-reduction options.

What is the brand-name version of Lincomycin?

Lincocin is the brand-name formulation of Lincomycin. The generic version is substantially less expensive than the brand-name alternative while containing the same active ingredient. Generic Lincomycin offers the same therapeutic benefit at a fraction of the cost.

This is a summary of the official FDA label text, not personalized medical advice. It does not list every possible interaction or side effect. Always tell your prescriber and pharmacist about every medicine and supplement you take.

Boxed warning

WARNING Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including lincomycin and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. Because lincomycin therapy has been associated with severe colitis which may end fatally, it should be reserved for serious infections where less toxic antimicrobial agents are inappropriate, as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section. It should not be used in patients with nonbacterial infections such as most upper respiratory tract infections. C.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Lincomycin injection is contraindicated in patients previously found to be hypersensitive to lincomycin or clindamycin.

Warnings

WARNINGS See BOXED WARNING . Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhea Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including Lincomycin, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile . C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy.

Known drug interactions

Drug Interactions Lincomycin has been shown to have neuromuscular blocking properties that may enhance the action of other neuromuscular blocking agents; therefore, it should be used with caution in patients receiving such agents.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Lincomycin Sterile Solution contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Benzyl alcohol can cross the placenta. See WARNINGS . Lincomycin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
