Avodox 100mg Capsule

Avodox 100mg 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 due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Avodox 100mg Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Avodox 100mg Capsule contains Doxycycline and Lactobacillus. Doxycycline prevents the synthesis of essential proteins which are necessary for the survival of the bacteria, thereby killing the bacteria. Lactobacillus is a microorganism that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut, which may have gotten upset due to infections or antibiotic use. Together, Avodox 100mg Capsule helps in treating bacterial infections.

Take Avodox 100mg Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to take Avodox 100mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
