Acnomycin 50 Capsule

Acnomycin 50 Capsule is a prescription antibiotic capsule that contains 50 mg of minocycline in each capsule. Minocycline belongs to the tetracycline class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, including some skin infections and acne-related infections when prescribed by a clinician. Acnomycin 50 Capsule is not effective for viral illnesses like colds or flu. Because it is an antibiotic, it should be taken exactly as directed to help stop the infection and reduce the risk of resistance.

How it works: Minocycline works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. In capsule form, Acnomycin 50 Capsule releases the medicine after swallowing so it can be absorbed into the body and help fight susceptible bacterial infections.

Acnomycin 50 Capsule provides 50 mg of minocycline per capsule, which is a relatively standard capsule strength used when a doctor wants flexible dosing. Since there are no other sibling strengths or forms in this brand line listed here, this capsule is the specific strength used for prescription treatment plans where the prescriber decides how many capsules and how often you should take them.

• Bacterial skin infections
• Inflammatory acne
• Other minocycline-sensitive bacterial infections
• Doctor-directed antibiotic therapy

• Swallow Acnomycin 50 Capsule whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same times each day if possible.
• Do not lie down right after taking the capsule; stay upright for at least 30 minutes to reduce throat irritation.
• You may take it with food if it upsets your stomach, but avoid taking it with dairy, antacids, iron, zinc, magnesium, or calcium at the same time.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before the capsules are gone.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Acnomycin 50 Capsule contains 50 mg of minocycline. The number of capsules per day varies by infection and by how your doctor wants to balance effectiveness and side effects, and the exact schedule may be once or twice daily or another doctor-directed plan. Do not exceed the prescribed daily amount; your prescriber determines the right dose for this 50 mg capsule.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Minocycline may include:

• Nausea
• Upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headache
• Skin sensitivity to sunlight
• Vaginal yeast infection

• Do not use Acnomycin 50 Capsule if you are allergic to minocycline or other tetracycline antibiotics.
• This medicine can cause dizziness or vertigo, which may make driving or operating machinery unsafe until you know how it affects you.
• Avoid too much sun or tanning beds because minocycline can make your skin more sun-sensitive.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, because tetracyclines may not be appropriate.
• Use caution if you have liver disease, kidney problems, or a history of autoimmune conditions.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium supplements, or multivitamins because they can reduce absorption.
• Use extra caution if you are taking blood thinners or acne medicines such as isotretinoin unless your prescriber says it is safe.

• Antacids, calcium, iron, magnesium, or zinc supplements
• Dairy products when taken at the same time as the capsule
• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Isotretinoin or other retinoid acne medicines
• Penicillin antibiotics, which may be less effective with tetracyclines in some situations
