It is available as a generic medication. Research
Early research has found a tentative benefit from minocycline in schizophrenia, with several trials underway. A 2014 meta-analysis found minocycline may reduce negative and total symptom scores and was well tolerated.Current research is examining the possible neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of minocycline against the progression of a group of neurodegenerative disorders including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Huntingtons disease, and Parkinsons disease. As mentioned above, minocycline harms ALS patients. Minocycline is also known to indirectly inhibit inducible nitric oxide synthase.A trial found no difference between minocycline and placebo in people with Alzheimers disease. Minocycline also has been used as a "last-ditch" treatment for toxoplasmosis in AIDS patients. Minocycline is somewhat neuroprotective in mouse models of Huntingtons disease.A 2007 study reported the impact of the antibiotic minocycline on clinical and magnetic resonance imaging  (MRI) outcomes and serum immune molecules in 40 MS patients over 24 months of open-label minocycline treatment.
In order to reduce resistance rates as well as increase the effectiveness of treatment, oral antibiotics should be generally combined with topical acne creams such as benzoyl peroxide or a retinoid (tretinoin, adapalene, etc.). Minocycline itself is used both orally and topically in the treatment of acne. Infections
Minocycline is also used for other skin infections such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Although minocyclines broader spectrum of activity, compared with other members of the group, includes activity against Neisseria meningitidis, its use for prophylaxis is no longer recommended because of side effects (dizziness and vertigo). It may be used to treat certain strains of methicillin-resistant S. aureus infection and a disease caused by drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp.A list of uses includes:

Amoebic dysentery
Anthrax
Bubonic plague
Cholera
Ehrlichiosis
Gonorrhea (when penicillin cannot be given)
Gougerot-Carteaud syndrome (confluent and reticulated papillomatosis)
Hidradenitis suppurativa
For use as an adjuvant to HAART
Leprosy
Periodontal disease
Perioral dermatitis
Respiratory infections such as pneumonia
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Rosacea
Syphilis (when penicillin cannot be given)
Urinary tract infections, rectal infections, and infections of the cervix caused by certain microbes

Other
Both minocycline and doxycycline have shown effectiveness in asthma due to immune-suppressing effects. Minocycline and doxycycline have modest effectiveness in treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, the 2015 American College of Rheumatology guideline for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis does not include minocycline. Recent research indicate that centrally infused minocycline attenuates brain microglial activation, neuroinflammation and sympathetic activation during pulmonary hypertension

Contraindications
The drug is contraindicated in people with known hypersensitivity to tetracycline antibiotics, as there is complete cross sensitivity in this group.
