Description of DOXT-SL 100 mg
DOXT-SL Capsules are a combination medication containing doxycycline (100mg), a tetracycline antibiotic, and lactobacillus, a probiotic. This formulation is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, eyes, and sexually transmitted infections. Doxycycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping bacterial growth and spread. Lactobacillus helps restore and maintain the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, preventing diarrhea commonly associated with antibiotic use. Consistent adherence to the prescribed dosage and duration is crucial for optimal treatment outcomes.
