Hlake78:
The duration you take minocycline is dependent on the syndrome you're treating. This will be determined by your physician. For lyme disease, its generally 3 weeks sometimes 5 weeks. For acne or other syndromes, it can last years.
However, after 5 years I doubt you are making minimal quantities of milk, if any at all, and thus the risk of minocycline to your infant is remote.

Minocyline and 5 year old
I was prescribed minocyline 100mg BID for severe rosacea. They did not specify an end date.
My 5 year old is still nursing albeit sporadically. Typically it's only once a day for a few min. Somedays more but occasionally he skips a day altogether. I have no idea how much milk I'm actually producing but obviously it's a small amount.
Am I ok to stay on this indefinitely or should I keep it to 6 weeks or less?Tags: None
