XYRODOX LB CAPSULES is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in your body. It is effective in some infections of the lungs, urinary tract, eyes, and others. It kills bacteria, which helps to improve your symptoms and cure the infection. It may also be used for the treatment of severe acne.

Use / Indications:

• Doxycycline is an antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline group, used for treating bacterial infections like respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, acne, Lyme disease, and others,

• Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic that helps restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, often used to prevent or treat diarrhea associated with antibiotic use, digestive disorders, and to improve gut health.

Mechanism of Action:

• Doxycycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the bacterial ribosome, preventing the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth and reproduction. It has broad-spectrum activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

• Lactic Acid Bacillus promotes the growth of healthy gut bacteria (such as Lactobacillus), which can help to restore the normal gut flora disrupted by antibiotic use or gastrointestinal issues.

Dosage:

• The usual dosage for Doxycycline is 100 mg once or twice daily, depending on the condition being treated. However, the exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider.

• The dosage of Lactic Acid Bacillus typically comes in the form of daily capsules with 5 billion spores, but this also varies by the brand.

Always follow the prescribed dosage instructions from your healthcare provider.
