About Doxinova LB Capsule

Doxinova LB Capsule belongs to a group of medications called antibiotics, used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, gum infections, and sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhoea, syphilis). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Doxinova LB Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Doxinova LB Capsule contains Doxycycline and Lactic acid bacillus. Doxycycline prevents the synthesis of essential proteins which are necessary for the survival of the bacteria, thereby kills the bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria is a microorganism that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut, which may have gotten upset due to infections or antibiotic use. Together, Doxinova LB Capsule helps in treating bacterial infections.

You are advised to take Doxinova LB Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Avoid alcohol consumption as it might affect the working of Doxinova LB Capsule . Doxinova LB Capsule may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving.
