Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Jack, Brand name Minocin is now being manufactured in the U.S. by a company called Triax, but their pricing is sky high. See http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=00005534418 & trx=1Z500\ 6 Reports are that pelleted (or pelletized) Minocin is available at much lower cost from Canada, as manufactured by Stiefel Canada Inc. See for example http://www.smartmedcare.com/Pharmacy/Prescriptions/M/Minocin Minocin is also available from Canada as Minomycin. See for example http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s41402-s-MINOCIN.aspx http://www.freedom-pharmacy.com/Products2.asp?Brand=Minomycin+(Minocycline%2C+Mi\ nocin+Oral) & T=m A tell-tale mark of real Minocin is that it is pelleted, as opposed to powdered. If you want real Minocin, phone the pharmacy and ask if their product is pelleted. Many of our group members are now trying generic minocycline, which is ten times less expensive than brand name Minocin. For example, see the first link of this email. My compilation of feedback from our group suggests that generics by Teva and should work, but a lot more feedback from our group members is required.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 The drug is still being manufactured. Just take your prescription to your pharmacy and they will have it filled. Be sure your doc fills in the box with " DAW " and gives you 5 months refills. I go to Boston to see my doc twice a year. The r est of the time, my local rheumatologist checks my blood work and refers me to any specialist I made need for other symptoms or complications. " DAW " maeans dispense as written and you won't get a generic. If your pharmacy can't get it go to another pharmacy or order it from a mail order pharmacy. I do. It's called Precision RX 1-866 -273 -1256 and they take Medicare part D and Medicaid. I get 90 days worth each time.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Re: AP Posted by: " MRSROSE2000@... " MRSROSE2000@... Tue Oct 24, 2006 11:14 am (PST) Jack. Lederle was purchased by Wyeth several years ago and became part of that company. Then the right to make Minocin was purchased from them by another company that specializes in dermatology medicines. It is still made, and still called Minocin, and still to my knowledge the only one that is time released. Some folks have done quite well on the generic minocycline, but most of us have found the origional time release formula the best by far. Just, unfortunately, way more expensive than it should be considering how long it has been on the market. Probably because for some reason, none of the other companies have made minocycline time released. Martha _______________________________ Martha, I found the information on Wyeth's minocin on their website: http://www.wyeth.com.cn/english/Products/minocin.asp http://www.wyeth.com/products?page=2 & letters=all & fromLetters=all But.... My question for you is this.... Where did you read that this was " time-released " ? How did you find out that it performed better? I checked with my Compounding Pharmacist in Michigan, and they said that no generic or brand-name versions of Minocin are time-released. I'm not saying that you're not correct, but I am trying to verify what you're saying. I have been on a generic version of Minocin for 2-1/2 years without yet achieving remission. And, I want to re-evaluate my plan. Thanks! ~Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I took the real thing Minocin and had a reaction to it. Then I switched to brand and am still using it with slow results. been on it since January 2006. --- " Harald Weiss, Technical Marketing Group " <hweiss@...> wrote: > Jack, > > Brand name Minocin is now being manufactured in the > U.S. by a company > called Triax, but their pricing is sky high.
