Minocycline is an antibiotic that belongs to the tetracycline group, and it works by preventing the growth of bacteria, and it treats bacterial infections only, not viral infections such as cold and flu.
Minocycline hydrochloride extended-release tablets are indicated to treat only inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age 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 making the proteins they need to grow.
Your doctor might prescribe minocycline if you have inflamed acne that hasn’t responded to other antibiotics, such as doxycycline.
Like minocycline, doxycycline belongs to the tetracycline family, but it tends to be milder and cause fewer side effects.
