    I use Meda brand minocin. I have had very good results with it. It is made in England. I get it from Canada through Buylowdrugs.com. It is pelletized and sold as brand minocin.

    I think they are likely all “good” it’s just that different ones seem to work better for different people. The TEVA brand now made by Zydus worked for me. The Actavis brand now made by TEVA works for me. The Ranbaxy does not work for me…but I know it does work for others.

    Minocycline 100mg every other day with food...lots of food: Zydus brand. Celecoxib 200mg twice per day: Greenstone brand.

    I believe there is no more Ranbaxy. I think they merged with Sun pharmaceuticals. But this has been several years ago.

    I failed on practically all generics and overseas Mino but I recently had a semi-good lab on Zydus (The pink and maroon capsule). But I also credit my meticulous dosage (2 capsules every other day, 12 hours apart and 2 hours from dairy and minerals. You might do fine on any and all or you might have to do some trial and error; everyone’s different.
