MICRODOX LBX TAB

About

MICRODOX LBX TAB is a combination medication containing Doxycycline and Lactic Acid Bacillus. Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping bacterial growth. It is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory, urinary, skin, and sexually transmitted infections. Lactic Acid Bacillus (probiotic) is included to help restore and maintain the natural gut flora, which can be disrupted by antibiotic use. This probiotic component helps to reduce the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disturbances, ensuring better patient tolerance and treatment adherence while maximizing the antibiotic's efficacy.
