Minomycin Product Description

Drug Uses

Minomycin is an antibacterial agent, belonging to the tetracycline group. Minomycin is more active against certain types of bacteria, such as microorganisms, belonging to the Nocardia genus. Therefore, this drug is commonly prescribed as an alternative to other antibiotics of the tetracycline group.

Minomycin is prescribed for elimination of all bacteria types, sensitive to tetracycline, and is also used to control respiratory tract infections (RTIs), different types and stages of acne, gonorrhoea, nocardiosis (including chronic, acute, or subacute), infections caused by staphylococcal organisms and chemoprevention of meningococcal infections.

A therapeutic dose of Minomycin prevents growth and causes destruction of pathogens. For reaching the highest efficiency of treatment, type of bacteria should be determined before prescribing the dosage and duration of treatment. Infected patients should take 50 to 200 mg of Minomycin every 12 hours. The time interval between Minomycin doses and the total daily dosage varies with the antibacterial response.
