About Doxt-SL Capsule
Doxt-SL Capsule is used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, gum infections, and sexually transmitted infections (like gonorrhoea and syphilis). Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.
Doxt-SL Capsule contains Doxycycline and Lactic acid bacillus. Doxycycline prevents the synthesis of essential proteins, thereby killing the bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria are a microorganism that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. Talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Doxt-SL Capsule . Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Doxt-SL Capsule may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Let your doctor know about your medicines to rule out side effects/interactions.
