DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S

How DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S Works

• DOXYWAR LB Capsule 10'S is a synergistic combination medication designed to combat bacterial infections while simultaneously promoting gut health. Its effectiveness stems from the combined action of doxycycline and *Lactobacillus*. Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This action effectively halts the growth and multiplication of bacteria, leading to the resolution of the infection.
• Specifically, doxycycline is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, as well as atypical bacteria like *Mycoplasma* and *Chlamydia*. Its broad spectrum of activity makes it a valuable tool in treating various infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and sexually transmitted infections.
• However, antibiotic use, including doxycycline, can disrupt the natural balance of the gut microbiota, leading to antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disturbances. This is where *Lactobacillus* comes into play. *Lactobacillus* is a probiotic, a beneficial bacteria that helps restore and maintain a healthy gut flora. By introducing *Lactobacillus* into the gut, DOXYWAR LB Capsule helps to counteract the negative effects of doxycycline on the gut microbiota.
• *Lactobacillus* works by several mechanisms. It produces lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the gut, creating an unfavorable environment for harmful bacteria. It also competes with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients and adhesion sites in the gut. Furthermore, *Lactobacillus* can stimulate the immune system, enhancing the body's ability to fight off infection. Together, doxycycline and *Lactobacillus* provide a comprehensive approach to treating bacterial infections while minimizing the risk of gut-related side effects. The doxycycline targets and eliminates the infection-causing bacteria, while *Lactobacillus* supports gut health and prevents dysbiosis, ensuring a more comfortable and effective treatment course.
• In summary, DOXYWAR LB Capsule provides a dual action: doxycycline directly combats the bacterial infection by disrupting protein synthesis, leading to bacterial death or growth inhibition. *Lactobacillus*, on the other hand, works to maintain and restore the balance of the gut microbiota, mitigating the adverse effects of the antibiotic on the digestive system. This combined approach not only addresses the infection effectively but also supports overall gut health during and after antibiotic treatment.

Common side effects of DOXYWAR LB Capsule may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, stomach pain, loss of appetite, skin rash, itching, and vaginal itching or discharge. Uncommon side effects can include difficulty swallowing, esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus), and photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight). Rarely, it may cause more serious side effects such as liver problems, blood disorders, or allergic reactions. It's important to consult your doctor if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.

• If you miss a dose of DOXYWAR LB Capsule 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep DOXYWAR LB CAP 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.

• Take DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dosage without consulting them. Typically, it's taken orally with a full glass of water.
• To minimize stomach upset, it's best to take DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S with food. However, avoid taking it with dairy products or calcium-rich foods, as they can interfere with the absorption of doxycycline. Maintain at least a 2-hour gap.
• Complete the full course of DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S, even if you start feeling better after a few days. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to antibiotic resistance and a recurrence of the infection. A typical course lasts for 7-14 days.
• While taking DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S, stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This helps prevent esophageal irritation, a potential side effect of doxycycline. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily.
• Be aware that DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S can increase your sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, use sunscreen with a high SPF, and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Discontinue use and consult doctor immediately if you notice any allergic reactions.
• Probiotics present in DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S helps to reduce antibiotic-associated diarrhea by restoring healthy bacteria. Continue taking prescribed dosage even after symptoms subside.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you're taking. Doxycycline can interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners and antacids.
• If you experience any persistent or severe side effects, such as severe abdominal pain, fever, or bloody stools, contact your doctor immediately. These could be signs of a more serious complication.
• Store DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not use past the expiration date.
• If you miss a dose of DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S may interact with certain foods and beverages. It is generally recommended to take this medication on an empty stomach, at least one hour before or two hours after meals. This is because food, especially dairy products containing calcium, can interfere with the absorption of doxycycline, reducing its effectiveness. However, if you experience stomach upset, you can take it with a small amount of food. Avoid taking it with milk or other dairy products, as well as foods high in calcium, iron, or zinc, as these can bind to the drug and prevent its absorption. Probiotic component is not affected by food.
• Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding food intake while taking DOXYWAR LB CAPSULE 10'S.
