Minocycline is the non-proprietary name for a potent antibiotic, used in a wide range of bacterial infections. It also has some anti-inflammatory properties, useful in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic, belonging to a class of numerous very similar antibiotics. Most of these have -cycline at the end of their name. Though very similar in what they treat, dosage can vary considerably between them.

Tetracycline antibiotics are all bacteriostatic agents, meaning they disrupt the production of proteins the bacteria need to reproduce, spread, and thrive. These medications do not actually kill the bacteria; that's left to the immune system.

Patients typically buy Minocycline 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 the majority of cases to treat the above, regular fast-acting tablets are used. Patients can buy Minocycline in regular tablets as Minocin or Minimycin, among other names. This product is also available in an extended-release formula, sold as Minocin MR. In most cases patients buy Minocycline MR only to treat acne.

Note that Minocycline, or any other tetracycline antibiotic, should not be used in patients under age 8. It can cause permanent tooth discoloration and deformities if used in young children. Likewise pregnant mothers should not buy Minocycline; it is known to cause birth defects.

Taking Minocycline

Minocycline is usually administered in tablets, which are usually sold in 50 mg or 100 mg doses. Dosage is fairly uniform across most conditions; it's duration of treatment that is variable.

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.

Those who buy Minocycline MR for acne should:

• Take 1 tablet (100 mg) once per day.
• Treatment should continue for a minimum of 6 weeks.
• Treatment may continue for up to 6 months if needed.

Ideally patients will consult a doctor before they buy Minocycline, 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.

Tablets are best taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. A full glass of water is recommended with each dose; milk or juice should be avoided, as they can interfere with absorption. Likewise avoid taking the medication within a couple of hours of taking antacids or heartburn medications. Avoid laying down for 10 minutes after administration.

Those who buy Minocycline should be aware that this medication can increase in toxicity past its expiration date, and taking expired tablets can lead to kidney damage. Non-expired tablets are well-tolerated and produce only mild side effects, including headache, lightheadedness, stomach upset, and diarrhea. Some individuals find Minocycline makes them more sensitive to sunlight; use caution until effects are known.
