This medicine is effective in treating patients suffering from a long-term skin condition called Acne.
The spots that we often associate with having acne are actually a result of whiteheads and blackheads (that acne in its mildest form causes) becoming infected. The antibiotic ingredient in Minocin works to treat this infection, reducing its effects and helping spots to heal.

Minocin MR capsules should not be taken at the same time as indigestion remedies. A gap of 2 -3 hours should be left between taking each treatment.
For treating acne, you will normally need to take Minocin MR capsules for at least 8 weeks. Treatment should be assessed after 3 months to determine whether it has been effective. If your treatment has been effective, you can continue to take Minocin MR if necessary. If there has been no improvement in your acne, you should stop taking Minocin MR and consider a different acne treatment. Minocin can be taken continuously for up to SIX months.
