DOXYCYCLINE+LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS 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).

DOXYCYCLINE+LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS 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.
