Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic, which fights bacteria in the body. Minocycline is used to treat many different bacterial infections. Some of those are urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia, and others. There are pretty much warnings, I don’t know which of those your doctor told you. I have to say you should not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, antacids, or laxatives within 2 hours of taking Minocycline. Reason is that these products may reduce the effectiveness of Minocycline. About tanning, it is true you should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light. There is included sun as well as tanning beds. Minocycline may increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight and sunburn may result which is bad effect of tanning. Recommended is to use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable, to protect yourself of tanning.
