For Les - Re: Global Farm Minocycline

>>>I was recently told by my pharmacy that they could not get brand name

Minocin anymore (I had been getting the 50 mg Minocin brand). <<<

Hi Les,

I was recently told I couldn't get minocin 100mg brand by Triax, too. Richie,

a long time volunterr on the RBF BB, said that sometimes the larger chains go

through this with their computer systems. He was right. I went back, spoke to

the pharmacist, she called their distributor and was able to special order it

herself. Mind you, it was the 100mg cap, not the 50mg.

Triax brand minocin is still available, though, so if the one pharmacy you

usually use can't get it for you, you could always try another. If the 50mg caps

are no longer available, you could also do what many do - buy some empty

vegetarian gel caps from your health food store, split open the 100mg cap and

divide the contents in two to make 50mg caps yourself.

Otherwise, you can also buy Steifel brand minocin from Canada through the

online dug store buylowdrugs.com Works for many, too. Steifel is exactly the

same as Triax brand (just a different color cap), as it was sold to these two

companies from Wyeth. You just have to be sure to state " Steifel Brand Minocin

50

mg Capsules " on your order form.

Sorry I don't know much about the Global Farm generic....I was told that

and Teva did fairly reliable generics, though. I'm pretty sure none of

the

generics will be the pelletized, slow release version of the Steifel or Triax

brand names, though.

Peace, Maz

Maz and Group,

For anyone searching online, Canadian brand name Minocin is made by

Stiefel, not Steifel. " Stiefel " is German for " boots. "

Sources of brand name Minocin manufactured by Stiefel and one-year

old prices are listed in my web page http://www.tmgp.com/minocin.htm
