MINOCIN
®
(minocycline hydrochloride)
THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibiotic
ACTION
MINOCIN
®
(minocycline hydrochloride) is a tetracycline with antibacterial
activity
against some Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms. The action of
MINOCIN
®
is primarily bacteriostatic and it is thought to exert its
antimicrobial
effect by the inhibition of protein synthesis.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
MINOCIN
®
(minocycline hydrochloride) may be indicated for the treatment of the
following infections due to susceptible strains of the designated
organisms:
Gall bladder infections caused by _Escherichia coli_.
Urinary tract infections: cystitis, gonorrhea, pyelonephritis caused
by _Escherichia _
_coli_, _ Proteus_ species, _ Klebsiella_ species, _ Enterobacter_ _
aerogenes_, _ Neisseria _
_gonorrhea._
When penicillin is contraindicated, MINOCIN
®
may be employed as an alternative
drug in the treatment of anal and pharyngeal gonorrhea and syphilis.
Skin and soft tissue infections: abscess, cellulitis, furunculosis,
impetigo and
pyoderma caused by: _ Staphylococcus epidermidis. Staphylococcus
aureus, _
_Streptococcus _
_pyogenes, _
_Proteus _
species,
_Escherichia _
_coli_.
Although
tetracyclines are not the drugs of choice in any staphylococcal or
streptococcal
infection, MINOCIN
®
could be useful in circumstances where these organisms
are shown to be resistant to other agents but sensitive to MINOCIN
®
. Bacterial
evaluation of clinical cases involving proteus suggests a relatively
lower success
