Minocycline (Antibiotic) Reviews

I am 26 years old suffering with acne for 13 years. Took Minocycline on three occasions at 6 months intervals. Also used Minocycline with Zineryt topical lotion. As like any other drug, there was some improvements while taking the prescription. As soon as i stopped the acne was back at full force.

I've been on Minocycline for three weeks at my acne has gotten worse, the worst it's ever been. I'm also getting it in places where I didn't have it before. I hear that it takes awhile to start working, I really hope this is true. No side effects though, other then my skin being a bit more sensitive.

i am taking this medication with retin a cream and erythromycin have moderate acne on my face and back after three weeks with taking all three medications i am noticing great results a lot better and effective than doxycline everyone naming all of these side effects on this page most of them are very rare or almost never happen no one should really be that scared of using this drug its very safe and also affordable if you have a good health plan.

49 yr old male. Had acne since I was a teenager.I was on Minocycline (Minocin) for a long time with no real improvement in my acne. The only thing it did for me was to permanently change the pigmentation in my skin around the eyes and temples. This is a common side-effect and I would urge everyone to be very careful when using this drug. Check your skin colour regularly. It looks terrible and in my case is worse than the acne.

Reduced the redness and sheer size of the papules. Its not too bad but makes you depressed

Great. Made my skin perfect.

8 months later it does not work anymore. Antibiotics are useless, as the bacteria, like all living organisms, will adapt and become immune to the drug. A warning for all, don't delude yourself into thinking it has cured you. It has only masked the acne.

I have used almost everythig on the market, including Accutaine (very abrassive) and Pro-Active (didn't work that well for me). Ironically, Minocyclin is the cheapest and has better OVERALL results than anything I have tried.

i have been on it for about 2 months and my skin is looking clearer and feels smoother. i still get mild breakouts. only side effect is slight dizziness. i'm not liking the idea of taking 2 pills a day though. it can't be good for a persons body to pump it full of antibiotics everyday

have not taken it yet, i got it from my docter and reading all of this im not sure if i should take it. I'll let u know how it turns out.

Works really good. Got the tip from this site. I have used minocycline now for 3 months. Almost no acne at all atm, maybe some small pimps once every second week. If you live in EU you can easily order it over the net or get it subsribed. Minocycline is a bit expensive, but its sure worth the costs when it works.

Hope this medication works as well on the rest of ya!
