Minocycline Dosage

The usual recommended adult dose of minocycline is 100 mg or 200 mg for the first dose, followed by 100 mg every 12 hours. The adolescent dose (for those 13 years and over) of minocycline is based on body weight. Minocycline is not recommended for children under 13 years of age.

Do not take Minocycline at the same time as iron preparations or antacids that contain aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, since they may reduce the absorption of minocycline.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Minocycline exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Finish all of Minocycline, even if you start to feel better. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Minocycline at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Minocycline Precautions

There may be an interaction between minocycline and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
  • leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Minocycline. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Minocycline Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Minocycline.

Birth control pills: When you use birth control pills at the same time as minocycline, they may be less effective, and you may experience an increased risk of breakthrough bleeding. Your doctor may advise that you use a second form of birth control while taking Minocycline.

Diarrhea: Minocycline may infrequently cause a condition called pseudomembranous colitis (serious diarrhea caused by antibiotics). If you develop severe diarrhea after starting Minocycline, even several weeks after treatment, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Discoloration of teeth: The use of minocycline during tooth development (from the last trimester of pregnancy to the age of 13 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-grey-brown). Though more commonly associated with long-term use of tetracyclines, this effect has also been known to occur after taking the medication for a short time. For this reason, minocycline should not be used by children 13 years old or younger unless other medications are unlikely to be effective or can't be used.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: People who take minocycline may experience Headaches, lightheadedness, dizziness, or loss of balance. Decreased hearing has been reported rarely by those who take Minocycline. These symptoms may disappear during therapy and usually disappear rapidly when the medication is stopped. Avoid activities requiring alertness, such as driving vehicles or using hazardous machinery if the medication affects you in this way.

Medical conditions: If you have liver disease or Lupus, discuss with your doctor how Minocycline may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Minocycline, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Overgrowth of organisms: The use of antibiotics may occasionally result in an overgrowth of organisms not killed by medication. This can cause conditions such as yeast infections to occur for some women. Women may be able to prevent yeast infections by eating yogurt daily while taking minocycline.

Sun sensitivity: An exaggerated Sunburn reaction may occur for some people taking minocycline. If skin redness appears, stop taking the medication and check with your doctor.

Pregnancy: Minocycline should not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking Minocycline, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Minocycline passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking minocycline, it may affect your baby. Do not breast-feed while taking Minocycline.
