APOTEX – MINOCYCLINE 50MG (ACNE)

Minocycline is actually an antibiotic used to treat acne. It is often used prior to Accutane as it is less effective but much milder on the body. The benefit of Minocycline over Accutane is that it is not harsh on the liver. Therefore, it is a good option for individuals that are suffering from acne from anabolic steroids and want to try a milder form of treatment than Accutane that is not as taxing on the liver.

This medicine’s brand name is Minocin and belongs in the category of tetracycline antibiotics. The recommended dosage to combat acne for this antibiotic is 50-100mg twice per day.  This medication is a good option for bodybuilders that are suffering from mild to moderate acne that want to try an alternative prior to using Accutane.
