Posted on Wed, 11 Feb 2015
Question: Hello MY Doctor asked me to carry Doxt - S when I travelling inUS and in XXXXXXX I purchased DOXY-1 LDR Forte because that medical shop did not had DOXT-S (RAnbaxy). Can I take doxy-1 l-dr forte instead of DOXT-S?

Please advice.

Brief Answer:
They are the same,please follow below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Doxt-S contains 100 mg of Doxycycline which is an antibiotic manufactured by Dr.Reddy's.

Doxy-1 LDR also contains 100 mg of Doxycycline and Lactobacillus (correct me if I am wrong).

They contain both the same antibiotic : Doxycycline. The second medication contains a probiotic that will help you stabilize intestinal flora that will be altered due to its use.

All the best!
Dr.Albana
