What is Minocycline Hydrochloride

MinocyclineThe Generic name of this drug

Treatment SummaryMinocycline is an antibiotic that was developed in 1966 and approved by the FDA in 1971. It is more effective at fighting bacteria than earlier tetracycline antibiotics, as it has modifications to the D ring of its molecules. Minocycline is effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Effectiveness

How Minocycline Hydrochloride Affects PatientsMinocycline is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from making proteins, which in turn kills the bacteria. It is usually taken 2-4 times a day, with a maximum of 400mg per day. People should be aware of potential side effects such as tooth and bone development issues, gastrointestinal problems, changes in the nervous system, and increased pressure around the brain.

How Minocycline Hydrochloride works in the bodyTetracyclines work by preventing proteins from forming in bacterial cells. They enter the cells through special channels and dissolve in the cytoplasm. Once inside, they stop amino acids from binding to the ribosome, which is responsible for creating proteins. This stops bacteria from making new proteins, and ultimately kills it.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended dosage of Minocycline Hydrochloride is contingent upon the determined condition, such as Periodontitis, Rickettsialpox and Lymphogranuloma Venereum. The measure of dosage fluctuates, in relation to the method of application (e.g. Capsule, extended release or Tablet, film coated, extended release) specified in the table beneath.

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

While this medication did clear up my acne to a greater extent, the side effects were really severe. I became incredibly emotional and sensitive, got hives and a skin rash, and just generally didn't feel happy or motivated anymore.

3.3Patient Review

3/13/2021

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

Minocycline was unfortunately not worth the abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hives I got from it. It did clear up my acne effectively, but I had to discontinue use due to how severe the side effects were.

3Patient Review

7/6/2022

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

I've been on this medication for a year, and then took a break. Recently started up again and while it's only been a month, I can tell it's working. However, there are some side effects like hives and feeling high/sensitive, but the acne-reduction is worth it to me.

9/16/2021

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

I was prescribed this medication by my dermatologist for scalp acne. Unfortunately, it has not worked at all for that purpose; however, I have experienced every single listed side effect. This has been a very negative experience overall.

2.3Patient Review

12/9/2020

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

I experienced a lot of serious side effects from this medication, which ultimately resulted in a pseudo tumor and excess spinal fluid. I'm only 14 years old and very small (under 120lb), so I'm not the typical candidate for these sorts of problems. And unfortunately, this medication did nothing to improve my acne.

2Patient Review

8/20/2022

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Skin Infection

Rosacea sufferers, beware of Akamin! I was directed to take two per day by my doctor, and after just over a month of use I developed a large and itchy rash on my back and arms. Be sure to do your research before trying any new treatments.

1Patient Review

10/28/2021

Minocycline Hydrochloride for Acne

I was not given adequate warning about the possible side effects of this medication. I developed meningitis as a result and had to spend four days in the hospital. It took me over a month to recover fully, during which time my acne remained out of control.
