Zudoxy-LB Capsule contains two active ingredients: Doxycycline (100 mg) and Lactobacillus (5 billion spores). It is used in the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly in adult patients prone to intra-abdominal bacterial infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Bacterial infections are caused by single-celled microorganisms that can be both harmful and beneficial. While many bacteria are essential for processes like immunity and digestion, a small number can lead to illness. Zudoxy-LB Capsule is available at pharmacies and medical supply stores and should be taken strictly on a doctor’s prescription. Evax Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. manufactures this product.

The capsule is used to treat various conditions, including cholera, respiratory tract infections, chlamydia infections, brucellosis, malaria prophylaxis, rickettsial infections, and other bacterial infections. Doxycycline works as an antibiotic by stopping bacterial growth and preventing protein synthesis essential for their survival. Lactobacillus helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the intestines, which may be disrupted by antibiotic use.
