FAQs

Numox-LB 500 mg Capsule is a combination of three medicines: Amoxicillin, Dicloxacillin, and Lactobacillus. Amoxicillin and Dicloxacillin are antibiotics, and they show bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity. They work by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival. Lactobacillus is used as a probiotic. It helps in balancing the number of beneficial bacteria (E-coli) in the digestive tract (gut) to manage water loss (diarrhoea) occurred due to antibiotic or infections. Together, Numox-LB 500 mg Capsule helps in treating bacterial infections and coping with the antibiotic's side effect, i.e. infectious diarrhoea.

Numox-LB 500 mg Capsule may not cause diarrhoea as it contains lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is a probiotic that helps restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut which may have killed due to infections or with the use of antibiotics.

Numox-LB 500 mg Capsule is probably safe at recommended doses when prescribed by a doctor in patients with diabetes.
