Just to clarify: Minocin/minocycline is a tetracycline,

zithromax/zithromycin is a macrolide.

My apologies, I thought you probably got distracted and I want to be sure

people on the list are not misinformed.

Minocin and the generic minocycline hydrochloride are forms of

tetracycline.

Zithromax and the generic azithromycin are macRolides.

I hope that is clear. Not knowing what and why you are taking a drug is one

reason patients are blown off.
