This may seem like a silly question, but I need some opinions. I'm was on 100mg of minocycline for 1 month. When I went back to the derm the nurse messed it up somehow and prescribed me 50mg instead of 100. Since I'm only taking 1 pill a day can I take 2 a day, 12 hours apart, to get me back to taking 100mg? I have noticed that I'm breaking out more since taking 100mg.
If you are supposed to be taking 100 mg, 2x a day, then yes that would be fine to double them. You should tell your doctor though so they can fix that error though.

No, the first time she prescribed me 100mg once a day. Now, the nurse who enters the prescription into the computer put 5mg once a day. She was having trouble putting in the prescription that I think she just goofed and put 50 instead of 100. The 50mg it says to take once a day too, I just want to know if I can take 2- 50mg pills a day to get me back up to 100mg a day.
Yeah that should be fine. If you were on 100 in the first place and the nurse goofed up then I see no issue in you taking 2 50mg pills. The only issue would be your going to run out of them in half the time. Can you not call the doctor office and ask for a new script? Since the error was on their end they should try and fix it. But reguardless yes it is safe for you to do that.
