Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I also had that experience with 's. I have reactive arthritis, and it worked really well. Problem is that my insurance co. doesn't carry it, so they are paying twice, if not more, the price for my minocin. Just plain stupid! Harold-you're smart with these things-can you explain why 's works so much better than the other generics? Shouldn't they all be created exactly the same? Mona rheumatic Mincocycline Thank you for your input, which I have added to www.tmgp.com/minocin.htm. Another accolade for minocycline.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Some generics have powders in them that do not dissolve and therefore does not let the Medicine to be absorbed when it is in the part of the GI tract that absorbes it. Some pills have a coating that doesn't dissolve at all. Some, if they are pills are packed so tightly that they do not dissolve. again in the right area. Some capsules are packed too tight and you know the rest. Since they are generic they can use less of the medicine that is paramount for optimal healing. There is a scale of the amount they must use but they could use the lower end of the scale And of course this all has to do with money and how much they can get away with. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Mona, Please email me a more detailed message regarding , and I will quote you in www.tmgp.com/minocin.htm I don't know why should work better than other generic minocyclines. I presume that's because their manufacturing process is somehow different and better than other manufacturers' processes, resulting in a different outcome.
