CompositionMinoz Od 100 Capsule 10 is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections affecting the eyes, ears, nose, throat, chest, skin, urinary tract, prostate, and pelvis. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing minocycline hydrochloride 100mg, and belongs to a class of medicines called tetracycline antibiotics.
This antibiotic works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth of the infection-causing bacteria. It is also used in certain susceptible bacterial infections and may be prescribed for acne vulgaris.
Take this capsule as prescribed, generally with a full glass of water while sitting or standing upright, to reduce throat irritation. Avoid lying down for at least 30 minutes after taking it.
Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, before starting this medicine, as tetracyclines are not suitable in these situations. This medicine can increase sensitivity to sunlight; use sun protection while outdoors.
