About Altomox LB 500mg Capsule

LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN belongs to the combination of medicines called 'penicillin antibiotics' with probiotic. LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It treats various bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, urinary tract, tonsillitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Besides this, LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, dysentery (water loss) and infectious diahhorea. LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN contains two medicines, namely: Amoxicillin (antibiotic) and Lactobacillus (probiotic). Amoxicillin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) that works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering (protective cell wall) necessary for their survival, thereby preventing the growth of bacterial infections. Due to antibiotic intake, a large amount of beneficial bacteria gets destroyed, so Lactobacillus helps in balancing the number of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract (gut) to manage water loss (diarrhoea) due to antibiotic or infections. Lactobacillus also helps in the treatment diahhorea (water loss) and cramps caused due to harmful E. Coli bacteria. Together, LACTOBACILLUS+AMOXICILLIN helps in treating bacterial infections and coping side effect of the antibiotic, i.e. infectious diarrhoea and dysentery.
