How it works
Nodimox Plus LB 250mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Amoxycillin, Cloxacillin, and Lactobacillus. Amoxycillin and Cloxacillin are antibiotics that work by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering that is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively. Lactobacillus is a live microorganism that restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.
Quick Tips
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Doing so may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Conditions like the common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Give Nodimox Plus LB 250mg Tablet to your child only for their current infection. Avoid storing the medicine for future use as it is impossible to judge whether the same medicine would work for any future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.
