Minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic with the formula C23H27N3O7, targets the 30S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis. Commonly used as minocycline hydrochloride, it appears as a yellow crystalline powder, soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide, and methanol.
Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, rickettsia, and chlamydia, minocycline is commonly prescribed for conditions such as prostatitis, pneumonia, cystitis, otitis, and notably, acne vulgaris.
Minocycline acts specifically on bacterial protein synthesis without affecting animal cells, offering bacteriostatic effects. It's also known to inhibit lipase activity and reduce inflammation, making it effective for acne treatment. Side effects include dizziness, nausea, and potentially more serious conditions like blood disorders and liver dysfunction at high doses.
Initial doses range from 100-200 mg, followed by maintenance doses of 100 mg every 12 to 24 hours. Tablets are preferred, but injectables are available for cases where oral intake isn't feasible.
Due to potential risks like tooth staining and enamel dysplasia in fetuses and infants, minocycline is advised with caution in pregnant and nursing women.
In the elderly and those unable to take oral medications, careful monitoring is advised due to the risk of increased vitamin K deficiency and bleeding tendencies.
Minocycline's absorption can be reduced by chelation with metals found in some foods and supplements; spacing the intake of minocycline and such substances is recommended.
To prevent esophageal irritation or ulcers, minocycline tablets should be taken with plenty of water and not immediately before lying down. Discoloration of urine or thyroid gland may occur during treatment.
