Follow these instructions while taking Nixidox Capsule:

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing or opening the capsule.
It's important not to lie down immediately after taking this medicine to prevent irritation in your food pipe.
Remember, taking the capsule with food or milk can help reduce stomach upset.
For specific dose advice, it's always best to consult your doctor.

Nixidox Capsule is taken orally.

During your course of Nixidox Capsule, you may experience the following side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Loss of appetite
Photosensitivity
Oral or vaginal candidiasis

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Nixidox Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea: Taking Nixidox Capsule with food or milk may help reduce this effect.
Photosensitivity: If you become more sensitive to sunlight, try taking this medicine in the evening and using sun protection during the day.

The Nixidox Capsule contains two active ingredients:

Doxycycline (100 mg): This tetracycline antibiotic exhibits bacteriostatic activity. It works by binding to a part of bacteria called the 30S ribosomal subunit. This prevents a process known as protein synthesis, which bacteria need to grow and multiply.
Lactobacillus acidophilus (5 billion CFUs): This beneficial probiotic bacteria is naturally found in the human gut. Its role during antibiotic treatment is important, as it helps restore the balance of good bacteria that may be effected by antibiotics like doxycycline. This action helps in reducing digestive side effects and preventing additional infections.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Nixidox Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is advised that you discuss the potential risks and benefits of using Nixidox Capsule with your doctor.

Alcohol

While on a course of Nixidox Capsule, it's advisable to restrict or avoid alcohol consumption. Combining alcohol with this medicine could amplify some side effects.

Liver

If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Nixidox Capsule. This medicine might affect liver function, especially in patients with existing liver conditions.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Nixidox Capsule if you have a history of kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Nixidox Capsule may cause drowsiness or dizziness. If affected, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Allergy

If you have known allergies to doxycycline or lactobacillus, or any other ingredients in Nixidox Capsule, please consult your doctor before starting treatment.

Children

Nixidox Capsule should not be given to children under 8 years of age due to the risk of permanent tooth discolouration and enamel hypoplasia. Always consult your doctor about the suitability of this medicine for children.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Nixidox Capsule under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. If you are above 70 years of age or have liver and kidney issues, it's advisable to discuss these concerns with your doctor before starting treatment.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Nixidox Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Antacids: Medicines like aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide can reduce the effectiveness of doxycycline as they prevent its proper absorption.
Iron Supplements: Iron supplements like ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate can also hinder the absorption of doxycycline, decreasing its action.
Calcium Supplements: These interact with doxycycline and can decrease its absorption, thus reducing its effectiveness.
Anticoagulants: If you take warfarin, an interaction with doxycycline might increase your risk of bleeding.
Oral Contraceptives: Doxycycline might reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, leading to an increased risk of unintended pregnancy.

Drug-Food Interactions

Nixidox Capsule interacts with the following foods:

Dairy Products: Foods rich in calcium, like milk and cheese, can hinder the absorption of doxycycline, making it less effective.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Liver Disease: Individuals with liver disease should use Nixidox Capsule with caution as it could exacerbate their condition.
Kidney Disease: The presence of kidney disease may affect the excretion of doxycycline, potentially leading to increased medicine levels and side effects.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Nixidox Capsule. This may change depending on factors like how severe your condition is and how you respond to the medicine. Always stick to the prescribed dosage and do not exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Taking an excess of Nixidox Capsule could lead to common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. If you experience these symptoms after taking more than the prescribed dose, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Nixidox Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Nixidox Capsule at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Ensure the storage area is safe from direct light and moisture.
Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.
Use the medicine within its expiry date.

If you are taking Nixidox Capsule for urinary tract infections, keep well-hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help flush bacteria out of your system.
For respiratory infections, consider a balanced diet rich in vitamin C to boost your immune system. Foods like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers can be beneficial.
