About Adcef LB Tablet

CEFDINIR+LACTOBACILLUS belongs to a class of medication called antibiotics used to treat several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, blood, bones and joints, heart, lungs, brain, chest, ears, skin or soft tissues. The bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiple very quickly. CEFDINIR+LACTOBACILLUS does not work against infections caused by the virus.

CEFDINIR+LACTOBACILLUS is a combination of two drugs: Cefdinir (antibiotic) and Lactobacillus (probiotic). Cefdinir belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Lactobacillus belongs to the probiotics class (live micro-organisms that keeps the body healthy) to restore good bacteria in the intestines. Thereby, it prevents diarrhoea and loss of beneficial bacteria due to the prolonged intake of CEFDINIR+LACTOBACILLUS.
