Minomycin

Uses
Minomycin (Minocycline) is a type of antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, such as those occurring in the respiratory or urinary tract. It can also treat other symptoms including acne, pneumonia, and gonorrhoea. This medication is proven to alleviate these symptoms by inhibiting the growth of the bacteria causing these infections, enabling the body's immune system to fight and eliminate the infection.

Dosage and Administration
Patients taking Minomycin (Minocycline) are usually instructed to dose twice per day by their doctor. The exact dosage varies and patients should take only the amount prescribed to them by their doctor. It is important to continue taking this medication for the entire period for which it was prescribed, even if your symptoms have disappeared. Patients who stop taking this medication without completing the treatment course prescribed to them are at risk of having the infection return in a form which is much harder to treat.

Side effects
Mild side effects may occur when taking Minomycin (Minocycline), including vomiting, mouth sores, fatigue, and dizziness. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following serious yet rare side effects:

• Fever
• Muscle pain
• Urination changes
• Mouth or teeth discolouration
• Blurred vision

In extremely rare cases, this medication may cause a severe intestinal condition called clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. Patients noticing persistent diarrhoea and blood in their stool should consult their doctor immediately.

Precautions
Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Minomycin (Minocycline) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
