Most important fact about Minocycline
To help clear up your infection completely, keep taking Minocycline for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few days.

You may take Minocycline with or without food. Take Minocycline exactly as directed.

To reduce the risk of throat irritation, take the capsule and tablet forms of Minocycline 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 Minocycline. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember, then space out evenly any remaining doses for that day.
