Minocycline hydrochloride, also known as minocycline, is a member of the broad spectrum tetracycline antibiotics, and has a broader spectrum than the other members. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. As a result of its long half-life it generally has serum levels 2-4 times that of most other tetracyclines (150 mg giving 16 times the activity levels compared to 250 mg of tetracycline at 24-48 hours).
It is primarily used to treat acne and other skin infections as well as lyme disease as the one pill twice daily 100 mg dosage is far easier for patients than the four times a day required with tetracycline or oxytetracycline.
It may be used to treat certain strains of MRSA infection and disease caused by drug resistant Acinetobacter.
Contrary to all the other tetracycline antibiotics (Doxycyclin excluded), minocycline may be used in renal impairment, but may be aggravating systemic lupus erythematosus.
Current research is examining the possible neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of minocycline against progression of a group of neurodegenerative disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease, and Parkinsons disease, amongst others neurodegenerative diseases.
It is thought that minocycline exerts neuroprotective effects independent of its anti-inflammatory properties
