difference between Minocin and Minocycline

[Guest guest]

Hi Group, Just wondering if anyone has noticed an improvement after

switching from Minocycline (Generic) to Minocin (Brand)? The woman from the

pharmacy was pretty strong in her position that there IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Trying to almost what seemed to be, 'talk me into' accepting the generic over

the brand. I had to have my Rheumatologist fax the mail order pharmacy a new

script stating, " Brand Medically Necessary " in order to get the Minocin!

Gees...what an ordeal!! Just wondering if anyone feels that brand is

definitely better? I am not referring to what everyone has read regarding

brand over generic, ( I have read all that too) I am referring to personal

experience (re: improvement once switching from generic to brand).

PS> I hate to see the price tag on this 3 month supply of brand when it

arrives...im guessing it is much higher than what I paid for the generic,

YIKES!!

Thanks a bunch group, hope everyone is well )
