Doxyford LB Capsule 10's

Doxyford LB Capsule contains Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg and Lactic Acid Bacillus, a combination used to treat various bacterial infections while simultaneously supporting gut health.

Benefits

Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth and multiplication of harmful bacteria. The inclusion of Lactic Acid Bacillus, a beneficial probiotic, helps to restore the natural balance of gut flora that can be disrupted by antibiotic treatment, thus reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated digestive issues like diarrhea.

Uses and Indications

• Treatment of respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis.
• Management of urinary tract infections.
• Treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections, such as acne, rosacea, and wound infections.
• Addressing gastrointestinal infections and preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
• Therapy for certain sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea.
• Treatment of dental and gum infections.

The Doxyford LB Capsule contains:

• Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg (active ingredient).
