THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antibiotic
ACTIONS
Minocycline hydrochloride is a tetracycline with antibacterial
activity against some Gram-negative
and Gram-positive organisms. The action of RAN-MINOCYCLINE is
primarily bacteriostatic and
is thought to exert its antimicrobial effect by the inhibition of
protein synthesis.
INDICATION AND CLINICAL USES
RAN-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 _

Skin and soft tissue infections: abscess, cellulitis, furunculosis,
impetigo and pyoderma caused by:
_Staphylococcus epidermidis. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus

where these organisms are
shown to be resistant to other agents but sensitive to minocycline.

cases involving proteus suggests
