Doxol Lb Strip Of 8 Capsules Description

Doxol-LB capsule is an antibiotic medicine. Doxol-LB capsule is used to treat bacterial infections within the abdomen along with the diarrhoea associated with the use of antibiotics or this medicine.

Doxol-LB is a combination medicine containing doxycycline and spores of lactobacillus sporogenes. Doxycycline is an antibiotic and lactobacillus sporogenes is a probiotic, a beneficial bacterium that is already present in the intestine of the body. It is also known as healthy or good bacteria of the gut. Doxol-LB capsule works by killing the bacteria responsible for infection and diarrhoea and lactobacillus sporogenes help in maintaining the normal bacterial flora of the gut. Take Doxol-LB as advised by your treating doctor, for the prescribed duration. You should take this medicine with or after food to avoid stomach upset.
