Amy,

For Minocin the brand works better for most people, though some people have

done okay on generics. I get my brand Minocin from Canada because it is

cheaper there. It seems to have gotten prohibitive in the US.

Take care,

Ute

The brand Minocin appears to be around 1.40 to 2 dollars per pill at

100 mg.

Also, I found out that this product was divested to Triax

Pharmaceuticals, LLC as of Feb. 7, 2006.

Has anyone noticed any difference?

Lots of the articles and studies said that Lederle also made a

generic as well as the brand name. Do they still make it, and if so,

is there a specific way to have the doctor write the script to ensure

that I get only the Lederle generic, or the brand, that no other

generic will do?

Thanks
