Watson minocycline color change?

[Jan Lucinda1]

Just got Watson mino that is white, usually gold. Anyone else have this? Trying to get through to CVS.

Talked to pharmacist. It has correct number on the pill so must have changed.

Hi: Jan,
The Watson 100mg caps of minocycline are half grey and half yellow, I just checked that on the
drugs.com pill identifier to make sure. The markings on the caps are DAN 5695 , I took 100mg Watson’s for many years believe me.
What you had or have now is not Watson brand
If I were you, I would make sure you have 100mg
minocycline capsuls or tablets. The best to all,

Hi Joe-

I have Watson 50 mg. capsules with RX694 on the capsule. I tried to check drugs.com but couldn’t find it. Is the 50 mg. number different from the 100 mg. number? Thanks for your help.

I checked drugs.com. White is Raxbury which I do not want. CVS put the wrong label on. Will correct.

Hi: again Jan
http://www.drugs.com/minocycline-images.html
this will take you to the pill images and info.,
you will see on page 2 that the Watson 50mg
capsule is all yellow with markings DAN 5694,
the first image you will see, is Ranbaxy 50mg
all white capsule with markings RX 694 if that’s what you have, I’d send flowers to the trusted pharmist for giving you what you don’t want.
In your signature it says (Watson) 100mg M W F
just thought you were talking about 100 mgs in your post. Ranbaxy and globle brands worked
well for me also, just a mention.
😳 The best to you, 😆 ….Joe RA….

I’m pretty new to ABX. I requested my pharmacy to fill only with Watson minocycline, which they do. I read the insert last time and discovered that Watson Labs now manufactures these capsules in India. When I was researching the reasons for choosing Watson over, say, Raxby, one significant reason was that the Raxby was manufactured in India and the quality control over “fillers”.

I am sticking with the Watson for now because it is working for me.

I’m doing well with Watson. I took one Ranbaxy when I thought it was Watson and it upset my stomach so I definitely don’t want that.

Hi: all The url below can be of interest to
all people taking Minocin or minocycline who
have questions as to which generic brands work
better for some but not others. It just seems to
further support that everyone is different, I also
noticed some famillar names from the roadback.
org site from years back and presently.

I sent a complaint to CVS Customer Service online on Tuesday. I got a call from Rhode Island yesterday, CVS Customer Service. Said they had gotten my complaint, it had been forwarded to my pharmacy and will be dealt with.
