CNN 100 mg Tablet

CNN 100 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 100 mg of minocycline in each tablet. It belongs to the tetracycline class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections. CNN 100 mg Tablet works only against bacteria, not viruses, and is used when a clinician decides minocycline is an appropriate choice.

How it works: Minocycline in CNN 100 mg Tablet stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. By slowing bacterial growth, the tablet helps your body clear the infection.

CNN 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is typically used for patients whose doctor has already decided that a 100 mg dose is appropriate. Because each tablet delivers a full 100 mg of minocycline, it may be chosen when a prescriber wants a stronger per-dose amount than lower-strength tablets or when a simpler dosing schedule is needed.

• Acne vulgaris
• Certain respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Some sexually transmitted bacterial infections
• Other bacterial infections your doctor selects minocycline for

• Swallow CNN 100 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different directions.
• Do not lie down right after taking the tablet; stay upright for at least 30 minutes to lower the chance of throat or esophagus irritation.
• You may take CNN 100 mg Tablet with food if it upsets your stomach, but dairy, antacids, iron, zinc, and magnesium can reduce absorption.
• Take the tablet exactly on the schedule prescribed, even if you start to feel better before finishing the course.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a clinician specifically tells you to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each CNN 100 mg Tablet contains 100 mg of minocycline.
