Hello!
Thanks for query.
Minocycline(minolox) and isotretinoin can cause gastric upset ,gastritis and epigastric pain.
You avoid these side effects by taking proton pump inhibitors (omeprazol) along with the medicines.
Take plenty of oral fluids after taking minolox and isotertenoin.You can take these medicines after food to avoid side effects.

Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
