lidrox-LB (Doxycycline Hydrochloride & Lactic Acid Bacillus Tablets)

Product Name: Alidrox-LB Tablets

Composition:

• Doxycycline Hydrochloride: 100 mg
• Lactic Acid Bacillus: 5 million spores

Introduction:

Alidrox-LB is a combination tablet containing Doxycycline Hydrochloride (an antibiotic) and Lactic Acid Bacillus (a probiotic). This unique formulation helps in treating bacterial infections while restoring gut health by balancing the microbiota. It is commonly prescribed for a variety of infections and also helps in preventing the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with antibiotics, such as diarrhea.

Common Uses:

1. Bacterial Infections:

   • Respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
   • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
   • Skin and soft tissue infections
   • Sexually transmitted infections (e.g., gonorrhea, chlamydia)
   • Lyme disease

2. Gastrointestinal Protection:

   • Helps in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal issues caused by the use of antibiotics.

3. Other Infections:

   • Malaria prophylaxis (prevention)
   • Typhoid and other infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

How It Works:

• Doxycycline Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the growth and spread of bacteria.
• Lactic Acid Bacillus is a probiotic that helps in maintaining the balance of good bacteria in the gut, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea and dysbiosis, which are common with antibiotics.

Benefits:

1. Effective Antibiotic: Treats a wide range of bacterial infections effectively.
2. Prevents Digestive Disturbances: The probiotic component helps restore beneficial gut flora, reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
3. Convenient: Combined formulation of antibiotic and probiotic in one tablet.
4. Dual Action: Addresses both the infection and the gastrointestinal side effects caused by antibiotics.

Dosage:

• Adults: Typically 1 tablet once or twice daily as prescribed by the doctor, depending on the severity of the infection.
• Duration: The duration of the treatment varies based on the type of infection, generally lasting 7 to 14 days.

Side Effects:

• Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and stomach upset.
• Serious: Allergic reactions, rash, difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, or signs of superinfection (e.g., oral thrush, yeast infections).

1. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before using during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Doxycycline may affect the developing bones and teeth of a fetus or infant.
2. Liver and Kidney Issues: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney problems.
