DGF Biocine Syrup 250mg/5ml 100ml

DGF Biocine Syrup is a potent lincosamide antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections. Formulated with Lincomycin Hydrochloride, it is particularly effective for patients who are allergic to penicillin or when other antibiotics are not suitable. Manufactured by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals, it is a trusted choice for managing various systemic infections in Nigeria.

What is Biocine Syrup used for?

This medication is prescribed for a wide range of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Including cellulitis, abscesses, and infected wounds.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Such as osteomyelitis.
• Dental Infections: Managing severe oral bacterial growth.

How it Works

Biocine Syrup acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor. It binds to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying, thereby allowing the body's immune system to clear the infection.
