Buy Minocycline 50mg Capsules Online, Prescription Tetracycline Antibiotic for Acne and Bacterial Infections
Buy Minocycline 50mg online from HubPharm Africa, a PCN licensed specialty pharmacy. Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections and is widely prescribed for moderate to severe acne. This listing is supplied as 50mg oral capsules. It works against the bacteria that cause infection and, in acne, helps reduce inflamed spots when used over a course of several weeks.
Minocycline stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. In acne it targets the bacteria involved in spots and calms the associated inflammation. It is also used for chest, urinary, skin and certain other infections when a doctor considers it appropriate. Antibiotic courses should always be completed as prescribed, even if you feel better early, to reduce the risk of resistance.
Minocycline is a prescription only medicine. Every order is reviewed by a HubPharm pharmacist before dispatch, and our care team can support you with how to take it, what to avoid and adherence reminders through Afiya on WhatsApp. Same-day delivery within Lagos, 48 hours nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Minocycline 50mg used for?
It is a tetracycline antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections and, very commonly, moderate to severe acne. Your doctor decides the dose and length of course based on what is being treated.
How should I take Minocycline?
Take it exactly as prescribed, with a full glass of water, and stay upright for at least 30 minutes afterwards to protect the throat. It can be taken with or without food. Complete the full course even if you feel better.
What should I avoid while taking it?
Avoid taking it at the same time as dairy, antacids, or iron and calcium supplements, which reduce absorption. Separate these by two to three hours. Minocycline can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so use sun protection.
How long before acne improves?
Acne usually takes several weeks to respond, often six to twelve weeks, and treatment may continue for a few months. Keep taking it as prescribed even if change is slow, and review progress with your doctor.
What side effects should I watch for?
Common effects include nausea, dizziness and light sensitivity. Rarely, minocycline can cause skin or gum discolouration with long use, or more serious reactions. Report severe headache, vision changes, rash, fever or breathing difficulty urgently.
Can everyone take Minocycline?
No. It is not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for young children, because tetracyclines can affect developing teeth and bone. Tell your prescriber about your full medical history and any other medicines.
Do I need a prescription to buy Minocycline in Nigeria?
Yes. Minocycline is a prescription only medicine. HubPharm pharmacists verify your prescription before dispensing, and your doctor can e-prescribe directly to HubPharm.
Description
Full Product Information
Active ingredient: Minocycline 50mg per capsule (as minocycline hydrochloride), a tetracycline antibiotic.
Presentation: Oral capsules.
Classification: Prescription only medicine.
How Minocycline Works
Minocycline binds to the bacterial ribosome and blocks protein synthesis, which stops bacteria from growing and multiplying. This clears or controls infection and, in acne, reduces the bacterial load and inflammation that drive spots.
Storage
Store below 25°C in a dry place, in the original pack, away from direct light and out of the reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.
Safety Information
Do not use if you are allergic to minocycline or other tetracyclines, in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in children under 12 years, as tetracyclines can stain developing teeth. Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems or lupus. Minocycline increases sun sensitivity and can interact with other medicines. Complete the full prescribed course and do not share antibiotics with others.
