Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic that helps restore good bacteria and reduce stomach upset and diarrhoea caused by antibiotics like Doxycycline.

Like all medicines, Microdox-LBX Capsule also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Microdox-LBX Capsule include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and photosensitivity. If any of these effects persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
