Minoz contains the active ingredient minocycline, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called tetracyclines. Medicines like Minoz stop bacteria from producing the proteins required for their growth.
If you have inflammatory acne that hasn't responded to antibiotics like doxycycline, your doctor may prescribe minocycline. Doxycycline is a member of the tetracycline family, just like minocycline, although it is often gentler and has fewer side effects.
In addition to bacteria being a leading cause, acne also results from skin inflammation. Because of its anti-inflammatory qualities, minocycline may be able to help reduce acne-related inflammation.
Minoz has the ability to reduce the activity of particular molecules and enzymes involved in the inflammatory process. Minocycline in Minoz has also shown to reduce sebum production, which can help prevent the formation of new acne lesions (spots).
Minoz is available in different strengths, including 50 mg and 100 mg tablets, for the treatment of acne. The primary difference between Minoz 50 mg and 100 mg lies in the dosage.
In general, higher doses of minocycline (such as 100 mg) may be more effective in treating acne, especially when lower doses have been ineffective. However they may cause more side effects.
However, results can vary from person to person, and the appropriate dosage depends on the severity of your the acne and general healthindividual factors. It's important to note that treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a doctor who can consider your individual case and needs.

Your doctor will set a dosage after a quick medical assessment. Minoz is usually taken once or twice a day, depending on your doctor's recommendation. Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body.
It is usually recommended to take Minoz on an empty stomach as it can may help improve its absorption. If you experience an upset stomach when taking minocycline, you can try taking it with a small amount of food to see if that helps.
With oral antibiotics, it may take six to eight weeks before you start noticing any results. It's crucial to continue taking Minoz exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you do or don't notice any change.
Bacteria can occasionally develop antibiotic resistance over time. This often occurs when you don't use antibiotics for a long enough period of time to completely eradicate all the germs. The bacteria develop mechanisms to resist antibiotic therapy, making them particularly difficult to eradicate.
If you forget to take your dose, do not panic, take it as soon as you remember and never double the dose. If you accidentally take more than the recommended dose, immediately seek a doctor’s help.
Try taking it at the same time every day, and avoid consuming dairy products and calcium supplements because they can interfere with the absorption of the medicine.
