Experiences with

Minocycline

The Royal Free consultant has suggested I go on minocycline for 3 months, to reduce the size of some calcinosis lumps. Has anyone had experience of this? Effectiveness? Side effects? How best to take? Dos and don’ts while taking it? Thanks.

I've tried a load of different antibiotics that have no effect at all, including Erythromycin, Minocycline, Doxycycline, different medicated shampoos and creams. Even spent 9 months referred to a skin clinic, which didn't help. But, nothing works as well as Amoxicillin.

Friends, Does anyone take Mincocycline to help MS? If yes, does it help? Leslie \

Positive results from the topical application of minocycline in orabase as adjuvant therapy after surgical debridement were published a few years ago, but the results should be confirmed in a larger number of patients [37].

He thought that it was a mistake for me to have been on Minocycline earlier, since Doxycycline is much more promising for PCa. Back in 1986, from a Dutch paper [1]: {Note that "tetracyclines" refers to the "cycline" family - including Doxycycline.}

I stopped Minocycline when I decided to give Akkermansia a try.  It's been a while since my Akkermansia supply ran out.  I have just begun using Doxycycline & pondering the implications. One can break the general topic down as follows: 1.

My local Dr tried minocycline. It has changed my life. My ankles hardly ever swell anymore and if they do it is minimal, the incontinence is better - but not gone, the flareups in my groin have gradually subsided (over 3 years) and I am able to stand longer - not as weak - and walk farther.

1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6408180/ Minocycline, a semisynthetic tetracycline-derived antibiotic, has been shown to exert anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.

Has anyone here tried that antibiotic protocol ap minocycline treatment ? Another forum has a few people who talk about it.

Unless the patient is allergic to them, the device components are coated with a slow-release antimicrobial coating called InhibtZone (rifampin and minocycline HCl). You will also be on oral antibiotics for 10 days or so.

For optimal effectiveness, avoid combining a magnesium supplement with the following medications: aminoglycosides, antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline), blood pressure medications, calcium channel blockers (aamlodipine, diltiazem, felodipine, verapamil), diabetes

After a blood test with iGenix lab in California came back positive for Lyme, the Dr in Calgary put me on a 3 month round of Minocycline, gave it a break for several months and sent another blood sample to Armin labs in Germany.

Minocycline may be an alterative that can be tested. I hope the aforementioned is useful. It is my way of giving back to an excellent community of fellow travelers on HealthUnlocked - Malecare. Apologies for any typos - I checked several times. Cheers, Philip

So far I’ve found that doxycycline and minocycline may be preventive. As far as negatives: “According to the results of the study, the researchers observed the strongest connection with PD risk for oral exposure to macrolides and lincosamides (OR=1.416; 95% CI, 1.053 to 1.904).

In the study, 200 people with early, untreated PD were equally randomized to receive minocycline, creatine, and a placebo.

The toxicologist fobbed me off and lied to my face saying there "was no mechanism for minocycline to cause this." Even though these symptoms are all listed as possible side effects of the drug.

I have been prescribed Minocycline for three months to see if it will be helpful in reducing the swelling in my joints. If it does not help I may start anti tnf therapy. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had experience of this treatment.
