Minocycline is a semisynthetic tetracycline antibiotic, primarily used for the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, including acne, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases. It is approved and widely used today, both topically and systemically.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult subjects after oral administration of 200 mg minocycline. Parameters reflect population mean values.
