Minocin (minocycline) is an antibiotic with anti-inflammatory properties, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections as well as rheumatoid arthritis.

Like most antibiotics it will have little effect on viral or fungal infections, nor is it effective against all types of bacteria. Minocin can be used in patients age 9 and up, though dosage modification is required. Parents should not buy Minocin for patients under age 9 as it can cause permanent tooth discoloration and tooth deformities in young patients.

It's possible to buy Minocin under a variety of other brand or generic names, including Minostad, Minopen, Solodyn, Minox, Divaine, and many others. One can also buy Minocin as Minocin MR, or modified release tablets. MR tablets are taken just once per day, compared to 2 to 4 times per day with regular tablets, but the MR medication is typically reserved for acne treatment.

Minocin belongs to the tetracycline antibiotic group; there are many other tetracycline antibiotics that work similarly, used for the same or similar conditions. Note, however, that dosage and treatment guidelines can vary between them.

This product is also a bacteriostatic agent, meaning it prevents bacteria from reproducing and spreading, rather than outright killing the bacteria. Suppressed bacteria is much easier for the immune system to overcome naturally.

Getting Started with Minocin

Minocin is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, though concern is growing with regard to antibiotic resistance. In the interest of a rapid recovery and preventing further resistance, taking the full course of Minocin is important even if otherwise feeling fine.

Patients often buy Minocin to treat:

• Rocky Mountain spotted fever
• Typhus fever
• Amoebic dysentery
• Cholera
• Lyme disease
• Bubonic plague
• Anthrax
• Gonorrhea
• Syphilis
• Periodontal disease
• Various respiratory infections
• Various MRSA infections
• Acne vulgaris
• Rosacea
• Rheumatoid arthritis

In otherwise healthy adults treatment typically consists of:

• Start with a single 200 mg dose.
• After the initial 200 mg dose, take 100 mg every 12 hours.
• Alternatively, 50 mg doses may be taken every 6 hours instead of 100 mg every 12 hours.
• Treatment may continue for a few days up to several months. If in doubt, continue treatment for 48 hours after all symptoms of infection have gone.
• Do not exceed 200 mg per day after the first day.

Ideally patients will consult a doctor before they buy Minocin, to ensure the bacteria is susceptible and to get a more detailed dosage & administration guideline according to the specific illness. Children, the elderly, and patients with other major medical issues will also receive modified dosing.

Tips & Precautions

There are a number of things patients taking Minocin should keep in mind during treatment, to avoid complications and promote a rapid and trouble-free recovery:

• Tablets should be swallowed whole, not split, crushed, or chewed.
• Tablets are best taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours following a meal.
• A full glass of water is recommended with each dose. Milk or juice will inhibit absorption.
• Unless explicitly instructed otherwise by a doctor, Minocin should be taken 2 or 3 hours before or following other medications---including over-the-counter treatments like antacids.
• Avoid laying down for at least 10 minutes after taking a dose.
• Do not take Minocin if pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Do not administer Minocin to patients under age 9.

Minocin should not be used past its expiration date. While most medications simply lose potency, Minocin---and other tetracycline antibiotics---can become increasingly dangerous, leading to serious kidney damage. It's much safer to simply buy Minocin again rather than risk expired tablets.
