Product Overview
Revidox-LB is a dual-action medication combining the antibiotic Doxycycline with Lactic Acid. This innovative formulation effectively treats bacterial infections while supporting vaginal health. Doxycycline, a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis to combat various infections. The Lactic Acid component helps maintain optimal vaginal pH, creating an environment unfavorable for harmful bacteria while promoting beneficial flora. This synergistic combination addresses both infection treatment and vaginal microbiome restoration.
Indications
Revidox-LB is prescribed for:
• Respiratory tract infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Sexually transmitted infections
• Bacterial vaginosis
The antibiotic action of Doxycycline effectively eliminates pathogenic bacteria, while Lactic Acid helps prevent vaginal dysbiosis often associated with antibiotic use, reducing recurrence risk.

• Binding to 30S ribosomal subunit
• Inhibiting aminoacyl-tRNA attachment
• Blocking protein synthesis
Lactic Acid provides vaginal support by:
• Maintaining pH 3.8-4.5
• Supporting lactobacilli growth
• Creating hostile environment for pathogens
