Medicinal Benefits:

Qukcef-LB 100 Tablet DT is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cefixime and Lactobacillus used in the treatment of several bacterial infections. Cefixime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus is a probiotic (live micro-organisms that keeps the body healthy) that helps to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thereby, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to the prolonged intake of Qukcef-LB 100 Tablet DT.
