Description
Minoz 100 mg (Minocycline) Tablet
Minoz 100 mg Tablet contains Minocycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. It is used to treat various bacterial infections affecting the skin, respiratory tract, urinary system, and other body parts. It is particularly effective in the management of acne vulgaris (pimples) caused by bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. Manufactured by Sun Pharma, Minoz 100 mg is a trusted and clinically proven medicine prescribed worldwide.
Product introduction
Minoz 100 mg (Minocycline) works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the bacteria from multiplying. Unlike older tetracyclines, Minocycline is highly lipophilic, meaning it penetrates deeply into tissues, providing longer-lasting antibacterial action. It is often chosen for chronic or recurring acne and for infections unresponsive to first-line antibiotics.

Note: Always take this medicine under medical supervision and complete the full course to prevent antibiotic resistance.

How Minoz 100 mg (Minocycline) Tablet works
Minocycline inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, preventing bacteria from growing and reproducing. This bacteriostatic action helps the immune system eliminate the infection. In acne, it suppresses Propionibacterium acnes and reduces inflammation in sebaceous glands.
