Product Description:
Minocycline is an antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline group. It works by preventing the growth of bacteria and treats only bacterial infections, not viral infections such as the common cold and flu.
Minocycline Hydrochloride Extended-Release tablets are indicated for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 years and older.
Oral Minocycline is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of conditions, such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections.
Some people also take it to treat acne.
Minocycline belongs to a class of antibiotics called tetracyclines, which prevent bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow.
Your doctor may prescribe Minocycline if you have inflammatory acne that has not responded to other antibiotics, such as Doxycycline.
Doxycycline, like Minocycline, belongs to the tetracycline family, but it tends to be milder and causes fewer side effects.

The extended-release tablet is usually taken once daily for the treatment of acne.
Minocycline can be taken with or without food.
Drink a full glass of water with each dose.
