I was just wondering if anyone was taking Minocin when their RA symptoms started - i was taking this for a skin condition for about 2 years and when i saw my Dermatologist he mentioned a possible link and said that it has not been proven but some specialist think there is a connection.

I know if you google it there is some dispute.

Would be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.

    Hi

    Thats what i thought until my dermatologist wrote in a letter to my GP 'it is difficult to say in Minocin precipitated Tracys RA'. Also the Rheumatologist was quite surprised i was on it.

    Thanks for your reply.
