Hi...where can I buy minocin ( brand minocycline) in the U.S.? I have called costco, walgreens, CVS and all say Triax is NOT shipping it here anymore. What is a reputible Canadian pharmacy that may have it. Do you all take generic instead or brand?
Thank You

I have been taking generic minocycline for over 2 months with no issues except about 4 lbs weight loss.

It is working for me.

Glad to hear that is working. Be sure, too, that good liver support is part of your plan (such as Milk Thistle). Probiotics, too.

Yes, the maker is Watson I think because the pharmacy put WAT on the label. The capsule is half gray and half yellow with DAN 5695 on one half and minocycline 100 on the other half.

I second Keebler's comment on liver support. I am taking Milk Thistle and NAC and was just tested and my numbers were good.

Last, the 4 lbs. weight loss was due to Rifampin. I got mixed up.

I just googled Watson and found my pill. It is exactly as I described. This is the right one.

For what its worth, and it probably doesn't matter but I was taking generic minocin (mincycline 100 mg) and it was a pink/ red capsule--manufacter TEVA.

The last Rx I got from the company- Triax Pharmaceuticals is 100 mg but their capsules are green/light green (blue). (:
