Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi ..in regard to the " article " on strontium and minocin, I must have missed that. Is there any way you could let me know where to read the article? Of course, if that's true, it's a concern for any of us taking both. thanks, Judy **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi everyone I too am interested in the strontium because I too have osteoporosis, but I'm a bit concerned because I looked up the article that wiccantwinpaths quoted and it did indeed say that if you are using any of the tetracyclines (which is Minocin) you should not use strontium: " You should stop taking PROTELOS (strontium) if you have to take oral tetracyclines or quinolones (two types of antibiotics). You can take PROTELOS again when you have finished taking these antibiotics. If you are unsure about this ask your doctor or pharmacist " . It doesn't say what the effects of the interaction of drugs might be but it could be liver or kidney problems. If anyone knows anymore about this I'd be grateful.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Judy Here is the web address of the article. It's at the top of page 3. It seems that strontium reduces the effectiveness of tetracyclines so at least it's not dangerous. However, I want the minocycline to be effective for the RA. Another decision! http://www.servier.co.uk/pdfs/protelos_SPC.pdf Ros > Hi ..in regard to the " article " on strontium and minocin, I must have missed > that.
