Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: Because this product can cause permanent discoloration of teeth, enamel hypoplasia, and inhibit bone development and growth, it is not recommended for children under 8 years old unless the expected benefits outweigh the possible risks. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: 1. Animal research results show that tetracyclines can pass through the placenta and can be found in fetal tissues, causing toxic effects on fetal development (usually associated with delayed bone development). Treatment in early pregnancy in animals can show signs of embryotoxicity. 2. Minocycline hydrochloride, like other tetracycline antibiotics, can pass through the placenta and cause fetal damage when taken by pregnant women. If minocycline hydrochloride is taken during pregnancy or if a woman becomes pregnant while taking the drug, the patient should be informed of the potential risks of the drug to the fetus. 3. The use of tetracyclines during tooth development (late pregnancy) can cause permanent discoloration of teeth. Incomplete development of enamel has also been reported. 4. Taking tetracyclines in the last three months of pregnancy can form stable calcium complexes in fetal bones. A decrease in fibula growth rate can be observed in immature infants and young children taking tetracycline drugs (25 mg/kg every 6 hours). Changes in fibula growth rate can be restored after discontinuation of the drug. 5. Congenital malformations, including limb reduction, have been reported in post-marketing clinical experience. 6. Minocycline hydrochloride can be secreted in human milk; therefore, a decision should be made whether to stop breastfeeding or stop taking the drug. Precautions for the elderly: Clinical trials of this product did not include enough patients over 65 years old, so it is impossible to determine whether the response of the elderly after taking the drug is the same as that of young people. The dose selection for elderly patients should be cautious, usually starting with the minimum dose, because the elderly are more likely to have reduced liver, kidney or heart function, and may also suffer from other diseases or be taking other drugs.

Drug Interactions

1Since tetracyclines can inhibit prothrombin activity, patients treated with anticoagulants should reduce the dose of anticoagulants. 2Since tetracyclines are antibacterial agents that can interfere with (hinder) the bactericidal effect of penicillin, they should be avoided in combination with penicillin. 3Calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and iron preparations may reduce drug absorption when used in combination with this drug. 4The combination of tetracyclines and methoxazole can cause severe nephrotoxicity. 5The simultaneous use of tetracyclines can reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives.
