They changed my generic minocycline

[Kathy1465]

Hi friends-

I have been taking generic minocycline, Watson brand for well over a year now. Today when I picked it up the bottle says minocycline, brand name listed as Aurob. I looked it up on line and the company listed appears to be Aurobindo and mentions it is a company based in India. Of all the generics I have seen commented on, this one is new to me. The pills themselves are half red, half pink and have the print C 78 on them. Anyone else using this brand minocycline? I seriously would appreciate my pharmacist giving me a heads up on this before I paid for them.

Thanks!
Kathy

Kathy;
Go to the Rheumatic.org site because they keep a running list of antibiotics and might have the info.This is out of date but you can get the gist.
Anamika,

Please look at my web page http://www.tmgp.com/minocin.htm . Sorry,
the pricing data is now over one year old.

I will be grateful for any further feedback on the efficacity of
specific brands of minocycline for RA.

Sincerely, Harald

I would complain to your pharmacist —Aurobindo is just another producer of generics based in India —Watson has a well earned excellent reputation –ITs a case of your pharmacist trying to save few pennies by buying a cheaper generic —

So confused on the minocycline brand thing, mine are generic, yellow 50mg capsules that say minocycline 50 on one end and DAN 5694 on the other are these ok?

to the person asking if ldn is okay with minocyclin: Yes I have been taking it for three years no with no side effects. I started with 4.5 mg but eventually went down to three mg and do well with it. Some people have to start low and go up, I did the opposite doesn’t matter.

If you prefer a specific generic you can have your doctor specify it on the prescription by writing (for example) “Watson minocycline capsules” or something similar. That’s probably the most reliable way to do it. Another option is to talk to the pharmacist or pharmacy technician and tell him or her that you would like the prescription to be filled with a particular generic. Of course, you need to do that every time the prescription is filled (refills included) and (preferably) before it is filled.

Thank you for all the responses. I will definitely make the request for my Watson brand minocycline in the future. I may have give this new brand a try as well, since I already have them. I will let everyone know if I notice any changes on it. Wishing each of you good health!
