Description
Minosign 100 mg (Minocycline) – Uses, Dosage, Side Effects & Safety
Product introduction
Minosign 100 mg contains Minocycline, a tetracycline-class broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping bacterial growth. Minocycline is frequently used for acne, skin infections, respiratory infections, sexually transmitted infections (certain types), and rheumatoid arthritis (as adjunct therapy).
Compared to other tetracyclines, Minocycline has excellent tissue penetration and anti-inflammatory benefits, which is why dermatologists widely prescribe it for moderate to severe acne.

- Moderate to severe acne vulgaris
- Skin & soft tissue infections
