Hi, Everyone.
I have been reading all the posts on difficulties obtaining Minocin. Has anyone experience with Minocin manufactured by Teofarma. This is the brand I am taking, just wondered if anyone else is taking this. I am a bit concerned as to quality, etc.

Are you in Italy? Teofarma is an Italian company.

As I unfortunately do not speak Italian I cannot gather whether they are manufacturers or distributors of Minocin. I am not in Italy I am in the UK but a friend gets me the Minocin from Greece. He can walk into a chemist without prescription there. I am presuming it is reputable stuff but you never know until you investigate. Just thought I would post the question to see if anyone else is using it or had knowledge of Teofarma.
December 27, 2011 at 9:19 pm #360652PhilCParticipantWhat do they look like, and is there anything written on them?

April 19, 2012 at 8:23 am #360654notabeneParticipantDoes anyone know whether you need a prescription in Italy or France? I assume you need a prescription in the UK.
April 19, 2012 at 9:14 am #360655SvetulkaParticipantIn Italy, you definately need prescription, but some pharmacies will give it to you without it:-)

February 12, 2014 at 10:22 am #360662AnonymousParticipantHi Svetulka,
Searching through the posts i find yours regarding the Minocin, manufactured by Teofarma Italy/Greece. This is the only Minocyclin i can find in Macedonia, so could you please tell me what was your experience with this one. Did you had success or you had to switch to different brand?
thanks,

Actually, I was surprised to learn that the Minocin by made by Teofarma apparently does not contain pellets.
