Doxyguard Tablet

Doxyguard Tablet 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. Doxyguard Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Doxyguard Tablet 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, Doxyguard Tablet helps in treating bacterial infections.
