    My new Rheumatologist has told me that I cannot take Minocycline whilst on Methotrexate as it may lead to hepatotoxicity – liver damage. It was not the answer I’d expected 🙁

    Had radioactive ablation of hyperactive thyroid in 1997
    autoimmune thrombocytopenia resolved
    Anemia resolved with treatment of RA with Minocycline
    Blood type: B neg

    Meds:
    Minocycline 50mg once a week
    Levothyroxine .88mg
    Liothyronine 5mg
    Methotrexate 20 mg once a week

    I was on 5 mg MTX for the first year of AP and over the next 2 years I slowly lowered the dose.No problem for me but did have testing done every 3 months

    These DMARDS have no known interactions with minocycline:

    azathioprine (Imuran)
    hydroxychoroquine (Plaquenil)
    sulfasalazine (aka salazopyrin, Azulfidine)

    I’m sure that there are others, but those are probably the most common ones.
