How Dangerous Is Minocycline?
How dangerous is minocycline. I am to take 100 mg 2x daily 3 times a week for 13 weeks. Is there a better drug for killing unknown bacteria. I have recurring infections with lots of pain. Pain goes away when I am on antibiotic but comes right rightback when I go off meds.

Dear Sir,
Any medicine that is taken for long time has its side effects , since minocycline is an antibiotic so it has a lot of side effects if taken for long .
