Minocycline is a prescription medication used for treating bacterial infections, such as gonorrhea, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. It is also approved to treat acne and anthrax infections. By decreasing bacteria's ability to make protein, the antibiotic prevents the bacteria from growing and multiplying, allowing the immune system to better fight the infection.

Minocycline comes in the form of capsules, tablets, and an injection. While most people tolerate the medicine well, potential side effects include fatigue, itchy skin, and vomiting.
