## What is Dobact Core Capsule

Dobact Core Capsule is a prescription-based antibiotic, combined with a probiotic, used to treat bacterial infections and Acne. It contains an FDA-approved active ingredient, 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 urinary, digestive, and genital tracts. Tidal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. manufactures the capsule of Dobact-Core in its GMP-compliant facilities.

Doxycycline attaches to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis. As a result, this prevents bacterial multiplication and growth. Dobact Core Capsule uses include the treatment of infections associated with the respiratory and skin systems, such as Pneumonia and Acne.

It is also recommended for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), such as Chlamydia, and off-label for certain eye infections, such as Trachoma. In certain cases, it can also help control Acne-like lesions in Rosacea.

Take Dobact Core exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Usually, a 100 mg capsule is administered 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 when you remember, but skip it if it’s time for the next dose. In contrast, seek medical guidance for an overdose.

Dobact Core Capsule side effects include nausea, photosensitivity, reduced appetite, headache, vomiting, and Diarrhea. These effects are usually temporary and require medical care if they persist. Precautions you must keep in mind before using the antibiotic capsule with Lactic Acid Bacillus include avoiding excessive sun exposure and consulting a doctor before giving it to children under 8 years old.

Also, use cautiously with dairy products, antacids, calcium, iron, magnesium supplements, hormonal contraceptives, oral retinoids, Methoxyflurane, and some vaccines. Store Dobact Core capsules below 30°C. Protect it from direct heat, light, and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
