## What is Adoxy LB Capsule

Adoxy LB Capsule is a prescription antibiotic combined with a probiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections. It contains an FDA-approved active ingredient, called Doxycycline Hyclate (100 mg), along with Lactic Acid Bacillus (LAB) or Lactobacillus (5 billion spores). Doxycycline is a Tetracycline antibiotic, whereas LAB is a bacterium naturally found in the human genital, urinary, and digestive tracts. Atopic Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. manufactures Adoxy LB Capsule in its GMP-compliant facilities.

Doxycycline prevents bacterial growth by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocking protein synthesis. Adoxy LB Capsule uses include treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections off-label for certain eye infections, such as Trachoma. In certain cases, it can also help control Acne-like lesions in Rosacea.

Take Adoxy LB exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically 1 capsule once or twice daily, depending on the type and severity of the infection. Take dosages at evenly spaced intervals, like a 12-hour gap. For a missed dose, take the tablet as soon as you remember, but skip it if it’s time for the next dose. Overdosing will require medical attention for health and safety reasons.

Adoxy LB Capsule side effects include diarrhea, nausea, photosensitivity, vomiting, reduced appetite, and headache. Consult a doctor if they persist for longer. Precautions to keep in mind when taking this antibiotic capsule with Lactic Acid Bacillus include using sunscreen outdoors and consulting a doctor before giving this medicine to children under 8 years. Use it cautiously with hormonal contraceptives, Methoxyflurane, certain vaccines, dairy products, antacids, calcium, iron, magnesium supplements, and oral retinoids.

Store Adoxy LB below 30°C, away from direct heat, light, and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
