About Docnnial-LB Capsule

Docnnial-LB 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. Docnnial-LB Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Docnnial-LB 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, Docnnial-LB Capsule helps in treating bacterial infections.

Take Docnnial-LB Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to take Docnnial-LB Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking Docnnial-LB Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption as it might affect the working of Docnnial-LB Capsule. Docnnial-LB Capsule may cause dizziness, so be cautious while driving. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.
