About Doxmo Tablet

Doxmo Tablet 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. Doxmo Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Doxmo Tablet 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, Doxmo Tablet helps in treating bacterial infections.
