About Laboclox-LB Capsule

Laboclox-LB Capsule belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used in the treatment of several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, and lungs. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Laboclox-LB Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Laboclox-LB Capsule is a combination of two antibiotics (Amoxicillin, Cloxacillin) and one probiotic (Lactobacillus sporogenes ).  Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin work by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby, damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus sporogenes belongs to the class of probiotics (live micro-organisms that keeps the body healthy) that help to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thus, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to prolonged intake of Laboclox-LB Capsule .

  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Laboclox-LB Capsule .
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
