Lactic Acid Bacillus prevents diarrhoea and beneficial bacteria loss in the intestine due to a prolonged intake of Micofix LB Tablet . Thus, together Micofix LB Tablet helps in the prevention of infections. Micofix LB Tablet is used to treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, sinuses (sinusitis), throat (tonsillitis, pharyngitis), lungs (bronchitis, pneumonia), and urinary system (cystitis and kidney infections).
