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.

Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you are having hypersensitivity due to minocycline. Stop this drug as soon as you read this answer. This kind of allergic reaction is well reported in literature. So you are advised not to take minocycline in your life.

'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
