Most important fact about Minocin
To help clear up your infection completely, keep taking Minocin for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few days. Minocin, like other antibiotics, works best when there is a constant amount in the body. To help keep the level constant, take the doses at evenly spaced times around the clock.
How should you take Minocin?
You may take Minocin with or without food. Take Minocin exactly as directed. Your doctor will prescribe it for a specific number of days according to the type of infection being treated; keep taking the medication until you have used it all up. To reduce the risk of throat irritation, take the capsule and tablet forms of Minocin with plenty of fluids. Swallow the pellet-filled capsules whole. You should avoid use of antacids that contain aluminum, calcium, or magnesium, such as Maalox and Mylanta, and iron preparations such as Feosol. If you must take these medicines, take them 2 to 3 hours before or after taking Minocin. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember, then space out evenly any remaining doses for that day. Never take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions...
Store capsules and liquid at room temperature. Keep capsules away from moist places and direct light. Do not freeze the liquid.
