Doxy-1 L-DR Forte Capsule contains the following components:

Doxycycline (100 mg): It is a tetracycline antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. It prevents the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, hindering the addition of new amino acids to the growing peptide chain. This interference disrupts protein synthesis in bacteria, inhibiting their growth.
Lactic acid bacillus (5 billion spores): It is a probiotic that fosters the growth of beneficial gut bacteria for improved digestive health. It is vital in sustaining a harmonious intestinal flora, crucial for effective digestion and overall gastrointestinal well-being. Its use can relieve symptoms of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and various digestive problems.
