Is Minocycline safe?
Minocycline is considered by many to be the safest of the oral medications, but as with any medication, there may be side effects including skin rash, pain or discomfort in the mouth, unusual bleeding or bruising, throat sores, fever or chills, and severe headaches. If acne improves, the dose of minocycline should be reduced immediately. If minocycline begins to accumulate in the body, it takes on a purplish color that may show through skin as a bruise that will not go away, or add a dark pigmentation to acne scars.
