Pharmacological action

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 ribosomal subunits. It has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity.

Sensitivity of microorganisms:

Some of the microorganisms listed below have shown resistance to minocycline, so laboratory tests are recommended before use. sensitivity research. Antibiotics of the tetracycline group are not recommended for the treatment of streptococcal and staphylococcal infections, if the sensitivity

of microorganisms to minocycline is not shown.

Aerobic gram-positive bacteria: Bacillus anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Aerobic Gram-negative: Bartonella bacilliformis, Brucella species, Calymmatobacterium granulomatis, Campylobacterfetils, Francisella tularensis, Haemophilus ducreyi, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis.

Indications

Minolexin is used to treat the following diseases, subject to the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms:

• Acne

• Spot fever, typhoid fever, typhoid fever, Ku fever (coxyellosis), vesicular rickettsiosis and tick-borne fever
• Respiratory tract infections Venereal
• lymphogranuloma
• Ornithosis

In the case of acute intestinal amoebiasis, minocycline may be used as an adjunct to amoebicidal drugs.

For severe acne. minocycline can be used as an adjunct therapy.

Oral use of minocycline is indicated in asymptomatic carriers of Neisseria meningitidis for the eradication of meningococci from the nasopharynx.

Interaction

Drugs of the tetracycline group reduce the prothrombin activity of blood plasma, which may cause the need to reduce the dose of anticoagulants in patients undergoing anticoagulant therapy.

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

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

Cases of end-stage renal toxicity have been reported with concomitant use of methoxyfrurane and tetracycline preparations.

Concomitant use of tetracycline antibiotics and oral contraceptives may reduce the effectiveness of contraception.

You should avoid taking isotretinoin immediately before, simultaneously and immediately after taking minocycline, since both drugs can cause a benign increase in intracranial pressure.

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