BOXED WARNING: "MINOCYCLINE HYDROCHLORIDE TABLETS, LIKE OTHER TETRACYCLINE-CLASS ANTIBIOTICS, CAN CAUSE FETAL HARM WHEN ADMINISTERED TO A PREGNANT WOMAN," with use during tooth development (last half of pregnancy through age 8) causing permanent tooth discoloration (yellow-gray-brown) and enamel hypoplasia. Other key warnings: photosensitivity reactions, CNS effects (dizziness, vertigo), Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), and pseudotumor cerebri (benign intracranial hypertension), which can occur with concomitant isotretinoin and may cause permanent vision loss.

Minocycline Hydrochloride Tablets are indicated for infections caused by susceptible organisms, including rickettsial infections (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever, Q fever), respiratory tract infections due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia, uncomplicated gonorrhea, syphilis), skin/soft-tissue and urinary tract infections, and as adjunctive therapy in severe acne; it is also used to eliminate the meningococcal carrier state.
