Is Lecuron tablet an antibiotic medication?
Recently, my doctor prescribed me Leucogen tablets. I've always been unclear whether it is an antibiotic. I'm worried that taking it incorrectly may cause side effects. Is Leucogen tablet considered an antibiotic medication?

Under normal circumstances, Licobet tablets are not antibiotic medications.
The main component of Licobet tablets is leucogen, a cysteine derivative and the primary active ingredient known as leucogen alkaloid. This medication works by stimulating the bone marrow hematopoietic system to increase white blood cell production, thereby improving the function of the blood system. It is commonly used in patients with leukopenia caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or diseases. Licobet tablets should be used under the guidance of a physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. Patients should strictly follow medical instructions when taking the medication and monitor for any adverse reactions.
In contrast, antibiotic medications are primarily used to treat infectious diseases caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia and skin infections, by inhibiting or killing bacteria to help the body fight infections. Therefore, in terms of composition, mechanism of action, and clinical use, Licobet tablets are distinctly different from antibiotic medications.
In daily life, patients should maintain good作息 habits and dietary practices to enhance physical immunity and promote recovery from illness.
