Minocycline's effects are related to the inhibition of protein synthesis. Minocycline is used to treat nongonococcal urethritis, mucopurulent cervicitis, acne vulgaris, and rheumatoid arthritis and some othet infections.

Since bacteriostatic drugs may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracycline-class drugs in conjunction with penicillin. Absorption of tetracyclines is impaired by antacids containing aluminum, calcium or magnesium, and iron-containing preparations. The concurrent use of tetracycline and methoxyflurane has been reported to result in fatal renal toxicity. Concurrent use of tetracyclines with oral contraceptives may render oral contraceptives less effective.
