Product Overview
Microdox LBX is a dual-action medication formulated to treat bacterial infections while maintaining gastrointestinal health. It combines two key components: Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that eliminates bacterial pathogens, and Lactobacillus, a probiotic strain that supports intestinal microbiome balance. This innovative formulation provides therapeutic efficacy against infections while mitigating common antibiotic-associated digestive disturbances.
Uses
This medication is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections including:
- Respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Genitourinary infections
- Dermatological infections
- Certain sexually transmitted diseases
The probiotic component actively maintains intestinal flora equilibrium during antimicrobial therapy.
Administration Guidelines
For optimal results:
- Administer orally with 240ml of water
- Preferably take with meals to enhance tolerability
- Swallow extended-release tablets whole
- Maintain consistent dosing intervals
- Complete full prescribed course
Consult your healthcare provider regarding potential drug interactions before initiating therapy.
Mechanism of Action
The therapeutic effects are achieved through:
- Doxycycline: Bacteriostatic action via protein synthesis inhibition (30S ribosomal subunit binding)
- Lactobacillus: Competitive exclusion of pathogenic organisms and restoration of gut microbiota
Dosage Protocol
Dosing parameters are determined by:
- Infection type and severity
- Patient medical history
- Clinical response
Standard regimen: 100-200mg daily (single or divided doses). Maintain therapy for 48-72 hours post-symptom resolution.
