Doxt Sl 100mg Strip Of 10 Capsules
Medical Description
Doxt-SL capsule is a type of antibiotic medication that is used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted diseases, and skin and eye infections. The capsule contains a combination of doxycycline and lactobacillus as its active ingredients. The doxycycline works by preventing the growth and reproduction of bacteria that cause infections, while the lactobacillus helps to maintain the normal bacterial flora of the gut.
It is important to take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to not take more than the recommended dose. Additionally, do not stop taking this medicine on your own, and always complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start to feel better, to prevent the infection from coming back.
Other capsules with doxycycline and lactobacillus include Doxy 1 L Dr Forte capsule, Microdox Lbx capsule, Doxybond Lb capsule, Nixidox capsule, and Doxol Lb capsule. However, it is important to note that Doxt-SL capsule should only be used when you are sure that the infection is caused by bacteria. Self-medication is not recommended as the unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them ineffective for future treatments.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, tell your doctor about your detailed medical history and all the medicines and supplements you are taking. Doxt-SL capsules should not be used in children below 8 years of age as they can cause discolouration of teeth.
