PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
ratio-MINOCYCLINE
(minocycline hydrochloride)
THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibiotic
ACTION
RATIO-MINOCYCLINE (minocycline hydrochloride) is a tetracycline with
antibacterial activity
against
some
Gram-negative
and
Gram-positive
organisms.
The
action
of
RATIO-
MINOCYCLINE is primarily bacteriostatic and it is thought to exert its
antimicrobial effect by
the inhibition of protein synthesis.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
RATIO-MINOCYCLINE (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,
RATIO-MINOCYCLINE
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,
RATIO-MINOCYCLINE could be
useful in circumstances where these organisms are shown to be
resistant to other agents
but sensitive to RATIO-MINOCYCLINE. Bacterial evaluation of clinical
cases involving
_Proteus_ suggests a relatively lower success rate may be expected
where these organisms
are concerned.
Respiratory
tract
infections:
bronchitis,
pharyngitis,
pneumonia,
bronchopneumonia,
sinusitis
and
tonsillitis
caused
by:
_Haemophilus _
_influenzae_,
_Klebsiella_
