Minocycline and magnesium oxide should not be taken orally at the same time. Products that contain magnesium, aluminum, calcium, iron, and/or other minerals may interfere with the absorption of minocycline into the bloodstream and reduce its effectiveness. If possible, it may be best to avoid taking magnesium oxide while your are being treated with minocycline. Otherwise, you should separate dosing by 2 to 4 hours, minocycline should be taken at least 2 hours before and not less than 6 hours after Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium/potassium/sodium sulfates), or minocycline and magnesium oxide should be taken as directed by your healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether your medications contain something that could potentially interact or if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
minocycline sodium picosulfate
Applies to: Minocin for Injection (minocycline) and Prepopik (citric acid/magnesium oxide/sodium picosulfate)
The laxative effect of sodium picosulfate may be decreased when used during or following treatment with minocycline. Your doctor may prescribe a substitute for sodium picosulfate that is not affected by treatment with minocycline. You should let your doctor know if you experience signs and symptoms of low magnesium or potassium blood level such as weakness, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, tingling, numbness, muscle pain, cramps, nausea, or vomiting. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
sodium picosulfate food
Applies to: Prepopik (citric acid/magnesium oxide/sodium picosulfate)
Oral medications may not be properly absorbed when they are taken within one hour before starting sodium picosulfate for bowel cleansing.

It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
minocycline food
Applies to: Minocin for Injection (minocycline)
Iron can bind to minocycline in the gastrointestinal tract, which may prevent their absorption into the bloodstream and possibly reduce their effectiveness. To avoid or minimize the interaction, iron-containing medications and minocycline should preferably be taken at least three to four hours apart in most cases. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns, or if you have trouble separating the dosing times. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
