Mode of Action of Composition
1. Doxycycline Hyclate (100 mg)
- Class: Tetracycline Antibiotic
- Mechanism of Action: Doxycycline inhibits
bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thus
preventing bacterial replication.
- Advantages:
- Broad-spectrum antibiotic
activity, effective against a variety of bacteria (e.g., respiratory
infections, skin infections).
- Known for a good
penetration into tissues and cells, making it effective against
intracellular bacteria.
- Long half-life allows for
less frequent dosing compared to other antibiotics in its class.
2. Lactic Acid Bacillus (60 million spores)
- Class: Probiotic Bacteria
- Mechanism of Action: Lactic acid bacillus
promotes a healthy gut environment by restoring the natural flora, which
can be disrupted by antibiotics like doxycycline.
- Advantages:
- Supports gut health by
maintaining the natural balance of beneficial bacteria.
- Helps reduce gastrointestinal
side effects commonly associated with antibiotic therapy (e.g., diarrhea,
indigestion).
- Strengthens immunity by
improving gut health, which is crucial in overall immune function.
Role and Advantages of Each Ingredient
- Doxycycline Hyclate:
- Primary Function: Broad-spectrum antibiotic
that effectively treats bacterial infections.
- Advantages:
- Effective against
respiratory infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted
infections.
- Can be used in conditions
like acne and rosacea, where long-term treatment might be needed.
- Broad antibacterial
activity helps treat infections caused by multiple bacteria types.
- Lactic Acid Bacillus:
- Primary Function: Probiotic that restores
and maintains a healthy gut flora.
- Advantages:
- Prevents and treats
antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
- Helps mitigate the impact
of antibiotics on the digestive tract, enhancing patient comfort and
tolerance to treatment.
- Contributes to a balanced
microbiome, which supports better nutrient absorption and immune health.
Why This Composition is Superior
- Dual Benefit Formula: Doxysan LB combines an
effective antibiotic with a probiotic, addressing both infection treatment
and gut health preservation.
- Enhanced Tolerance: The inclusion of Lactic
Acid Bacillus helps reduce the common gastrointestinal side effects of
antibiotics, improving treatment adherence.
- Targeted Action with Fewer
Side Effects:
Enteric-coated pellets of Lactic Acid Bacillus ensure that probiotics
reach the intestine effectively, offering protection and aiding in
digestive health.
- Broad Application: Suitable for treating
various infections while maintaining gut flora, which is especially useful
in patients with a sensitive digestive system or prolonged antibiotic
treatments.
How to Use Doxysan LB Capsule
- Administration: Take the capsule orally
with a full glass of water. It is best to take it with food to minimize
the risk of stomach upset.
- Timing: Capsules should ideally be
taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of
medication in the body.
- Special Instructions: Avoid taking this capsule
with dairy products or antacids, as these can reduce the effectiveness of
doxycycline. Swallow the capsule whole without crushing or chewing it.

(UTIs):
Treats bacterial UTIs and helps prevent their recurrence.
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Effective against certain
gastrointestinal infections, often accompanied by a probiotic to mitigate
side effects.
- Prophylaxis for Traveler’s
Diarrhea: The
inclusion of probiotics supports gastrointestinal health.
- Sexually Transmitted
Infections (STIs): Doxycycline is used for infections like
chlamydia and gonorrhea.
- Support for Gut Health: Prevents
antibiotic-associated diarrhea by maintaining a balance of good bacteria
in the digestive tract.
Dosage
- Typical Dosage: One capsule once or twice a
day, or as directed by a healthcare provider.
- Doctor’s Guidance Required: Dosage may vary based on
the infection type and severity, as well as patient-specific factors like
age and health condition.
This
composition should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider,
who will determine the optimal dosage and duration for each patient.
Advantages of Doxysan LB Composition
- Effective Infection Control: Doxycycline provides
broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage, making it effective against
multiple bacterial infections.
- Reduced Gastrointestinal
Side Effects:
Lactic Acid Bacillus helps to maintain gut flora, minimizing
gastrointestinal discomfort associated with antibiotic use.
- Balanced Approach: Combines treatment and
protection in one capsule, supporting gut health while actively fighting
infections.
- Convenient Dosing: With the extended activity
of doxycycline, patients often require fewer doses, supporting treatment
adherence.
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: By addressing common side
effects (like diarrhea), Doxysan LB improves the overall patient
experience, especially for those requiring prolonged antibiotic treatment.
Common Side Effects
While
Doxysan LB is generally well-tolerated, some mild side effects may occur,
including:
- For Doxycycline:
- Gastrointestinal upset
(nausea, vomiting, diarrhea).
- Sensitivity to sunlight
(photosensitivity), leading to an increased risk of sunburn.
- Possible allergic reactions
in sensitive individuals.
- For Lactic Acid Bacillus:
- Mild bloating or gas, which
is usually temporary.
- Rarely, individuals may
experience an allergic reaction if sensitive to probiotics.
Most side
effects are mild and temporary, typically subsiding as the body adjusts to the
medication. However, if severe side effects occur, consult a healthcare
provider immediately.
Precautions and Safety Information
- Medical Supervision
Required:
Always take Doxysan LB under medical guidance, particularly in patients
with a history of kidney or liver conditions.
- Not Suitable for Certain
Conditions:
Avoid use in individuals with hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other
tetracycline antibiotics.
- Photosensitivity Precaution: Patients should avoid
prolonged sun exposure and use sunscreen while on this medication, as
doxycycline can increase the risk of sunburn.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: Not recommended for use
during pregnancy or lactation without medical advice, as doxycycline can
affect fetal development.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare
provider of any ongoing medications, as doxycycline may interact with
certain drugs (e.g., antacids, blood thinners).
- Avoid Dairy and Antacids: Dairy products and antacids
can reduce the absorption and effectiveness of doxycycline. It is best to
avoid these within two hours of taking the capsule.
- Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain efficacy.
