Pharmacological action of

Minolexin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic from the tetracycline group. It has a bacteriostatic effect on cells of sensitive strains of microorganisms due to reversible inhibition of protein synthesis at the level of 30S ribosome subunits. It has a wide range of antibacterial activity.

Sensitivity of microorganisms: Some of the microorganisms listed below have shown resistance to minocycline, therefore laboratory tests are recommended before use. sensitivity study. Antibiotics of the tetracycline group are not recommended for the treatment of streptococcal and staphylococcal infections, unless

sensitivity of microorganisms to minocycline is shown.

Gram-positive aerobic: Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Drug Interactions

Tetracycline drugs decrease the prothrombin activity of blood plasma, which may necessitate lower doses of anticoagulants in patients undergoing anticoagulant therapy.

Due to Since bacteriostatic drugs affect the bactericidal effect of penicillins, the simultaneous administration of penicillin and tetracycline groups should be avoided.

The absorption of tetracyclines is impaired when taken with antacids containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium or iron-containing drugs, which can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.

There have been cases of terminal renal toxicity while taking methoxyfruran and drugs of the

group of tetracyclines.

The simultaneous use of antibiotics of the tetracycline group and oral contraceptives can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of contraception.

Isotretinoin should be avoided immediately before, simultaneously and immediately after taking minocycline, since both drugs can cause a benign increase in intracranial pressure.

Concomitant use of tetracycline drugs with ergot alkaloids and their derivatives increases the risk of ergotism.

Overdose
