How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Minocycline 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a potent antibiotic formulation designed to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. It functions by inhibiting bacterial growth. This formulation is also commonly used in the treatment of acne.

This medication is presented as a liquid suspension, with each milliliter containing 10 mg of Minocycline. The standard dosage is one teaspoonful (5 ml), taken orally twice a day. To minimize potential stomach upset, it is recommended to take this medication with food or milk. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to alter the amount taken without consulting a healthcare professional.

Completing the full course of treatment is essential, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may result in the infection not being fully eradicated, leading to a potential recurrence of the infection.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
