How Does It Work?

• Revidox-LB capsule contains doxycycline and Lactobacillus sporogenes as active substances.
• Doxycycline is an antibiotic. It stops the growth of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins.
• Lactobacillus sporogenes are beneficial bacteria that are already present in the intestine. It supports the natural bacterial flora of the intestine and helps in digestion and absorption. Use/overuse of antibiotics kills these good bacteria in the intestine. Lactobacillus sporogenes help in restoring the bacteria in the intestine.
