For treatment of syphilis, AA PHARMA MINOCYCLINE therapy should be administered over a period of 10 or 15 days. Close follow-up, including laboratory tests, is recommended. Concomitant therapy: Antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium and/or iron preparations impair absorption and should not be given to patients taking minocycline.
Route Of Administration: ORAL
Indication Info: INDICATION AND CLINICAL USES AA PHARMA MINOCYCLINE (minocycline hydrochloride) may be indicated for the treatment of the following infections due to susceptible strains of the designated organisms: Gallbladder infections caused by Escherichia coli; Urinary tract infections: cystitis, gonorrhea, pyelonephritis caused by Escherichia coli, Proteus species, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter aerogens, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. When penicillin is contraindicated, minocycline may be employed as an alternative drug in the treatment of anal and pharyngeal gonorrhea and syphilis. Skin and soft tissue infections: Abscess cellulities, furunculosis, impetigo and pyoderma caused by: Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Proteus species, Escherichia coli. Although tetracyclines are not the drugs of choice in any staphylococcal or streptococcal infection, minocycline could be useful in circumstances where these organisms are shown to be resistant to other agents but sensitive to minocycline. Bacterial evaluation of clinical cases involving proteus suggests a relatively lower success rate may be expected where these organisms are concerned. Respiratory tract infections: bronchitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, sinusitis and tonsillitis caused by: Haemophilus Influenzae, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species. Tetracyclines should not be prescribed for acute throat infections.
Contraindications: CONTRAINDICATIONS History of hypersensitivity to minocycline or any other tetracyclines.
