Introduction
Lactomox Tablet is a combination of an antibiotic and a probiotic agent. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including those of the ears, eyes, nose, sinus, tonsils, tooth, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. The antibiotic, amoxycillin, works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. The probiotic agent, lactobacillus, helps prevent side effects such as diarrhea by restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in the child's gut.
Directions for Use
Complete the entire course of antibiotics without stopping the medicine in between. Doing so may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection.
How it works

Amoxycillin, the antibiotic, works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. This action aids in killing the infection-causing bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment. The other agent, lactobacillus, helps prevent side effects such as diarrhea by restoring the balance of healthy bacteria in your child's gut.
