About Doxisia Capsule

Doxisia Capsule belongs to the class of ‘antibiotic’ in combination with a ‘probiotic', primarily used to treat bacterial infections of the chest, lungs, nasal cavities (bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis), kidneys and bladder infections (cystitis, urethritis), skin infections (acne), and other infections like malaria, cholera, brucellosis (infection due to unpasteurised products), leptospirosis (infection caused by animals’ urine) and psittacosis (infection from parrots). Doxisia Capsule is also used to treat sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea, syphilis, and chlamydia and rickettsial infections like Q fever. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

Doxisia Capsule contains 'Doxycycline' (antibiotic) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (probiotic). Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works by preventing the synthesis of bacterial proteins, which are the primary cursors for carrying out bacteria's vital functions. This process further inhibits bacterial growth. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic that helps restore good bacteria and reduce stomach upset and diarrhoea caused by antibiotics like Doxycycline.

Like all medicines, Doxisia Capsule also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Doxisia Capsule include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and photosensitivity. If any of these effects persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.

It is advised to consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Doxisia Capsule .
