The combination of Doxycycline+ Lactic Acid Bacillus is used in adults to treat intra-abdominal bacterial infection and to treat antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Doxycycline : Antibiotics
Lactic Acid Bacillus : Probiotics
Doxycycline is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Lactobacillus is a live microorganism (probiotic) which restores the balance of good bacteria in the intestine that may get upset with antibiotic use or due to intestinal infections.

ReferencesYes, Doxycycline capsules can be effective in treating acne. They are commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals for moderate to severe acne cases. Doxycycline is an antibiotic that works by reducing inflammation and controlling the growth of bacteria associated with acne.
Doxycycline helps to improve acne symptoms by:
Reducing inflammation: Doxycycline has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the redness, swelling, and tenderness associated with acne.
Controlling bacterial growth: Acne is often caused by the overgrowth of bacteria on the skin, particularly a type of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. Doxycycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby controlling the growth and spread of these bacteria.
Regulating oil production: Doxycycline can also help regulate sebum (oil) production in the skin, which is a contributing factor in the development of acne.
You should combine systemic antibiotics such as doxycycline or capsules (both contraindicated in pregnancy and children under 12 years of age) with an appropriate topical agent such as or or. You should ideally continue treatment for 3 months.
