Why is Minocin prescribed?
Minocycline (Minocin) is prescribed alone or in combination with other medications for the treatment of malaria and bacterial infections such as acne that causes clogged and swelling of the skin, urinary tract infections, eye infections and intestinal infections.
What does it do?
Minocycline, classified as a tetracycline antibiotic, is an antibacterial medication that primarily works by inhibiting the synthesis of protein in the subunits of ribosomes; thus, preventing the growth of bacteria.
How should I take it?
Minocin and its generic equivalents are currently available as 50mg and 100mg tablets. Each tablet should be taken as a whole (do not split) by mouth with or without food.
The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.
What if I missed a dose?
The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.
What are the special precautions before taking Minocin?
Before taking Minocycline, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any allergies to food or to the drug itself as it may contain several inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or problems.
Inform your doctor about your past and current medical history especially if you have or have had dysphagia, esophagus problems, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hernia, liver disease, kidney disease, asthma, allergy to sulfites and increased intracranial pressure.
Consult your doctor regarding all the other medications you use before getting surgery.
