Does Minocycline 50mg Cause Itching Associated Allergic Reaction?
Yesterday (evening)I took one pill of minocycline 50mg. They were prescribed for an eye infection. This morning had an itchy index finger, and now it is swollen. All my other fingers are slightly swollen. I cannot remove my rings with soap and water. Toes fine. Is this an allergic reaction? I am allergic to Dilantin, but nothing else. I am 66.
