What is Minocin PAC?
Minocin PAC is a tetracycline antibiotic that is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, severe acne, gonorrhea, tick fever, chlamydia, and others.

Important Information
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
Before taking this medicine
You should not take Minocin PAC if you are allergic to Minocin PAC or to similar antibiotics such as demeclocycline, doxycycline, or tetracycline.
If you are using Minocin PAC to treat gonorrhea, your doctor may test you to make sure you do not also have syphilis, another sexually transmitted disease.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
-
liver disease;
-
kidney disease; or

asthma or sulfite allergy.
You should not use Minocin PAC if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in life. Use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy while you are using this medicine, whether you are a man or a woman.
Tell your doctor right away if a pregnancy occurs while either the mother or the father is taking Minocin PAC. The use of this medicine by either parent may cause tooth discoloration later in the baby’s life.
Minocin PAC can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non-hormonal birth control (condom, diaphragm with spermicide) to prevent pregnancy.
Minocycline passes into breast milk and may affect bone and tooth development in a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking minocycline.
