Description
Doxt-SL capsule is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the chest, lungs, nose, kidneys, bladder, skin, eye, rickets and sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea or syphilis. You should always complete the entire course of treatment with antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. Do not miss any dose or take more than the prescribed dose.
Doxt-SL contains a combination of doxycycline and lactobacillus as its active ingredients. Doxycycline prevents the growth and reproduction of bacteria that cause infections, while lactobacillus helps maintain the normal bacterial flora of the gut.
It is important to take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor and not to take more than the recommended dose. Additionally, do not stop taking this medicine alone, and always complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start to feel better, to prevent the infection from returning.
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. 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 under 8 years of age as they can cause tooth discolouration.
