Answer 1

This website suggests that you should be fine taking tylenol (acetomenophin) and minocycline:

However, there is nothing wrong with calling the pharmacist that distributed your antibiotics to be safe. Your pharmacist would be more of an expert than I am.

Note: this website does caution that this is one of those antibiotics that can make birth control less effective.

Answer 2

If you have pain during pregnancy, you may take Tylenol or acetaminophen up to 2 tablets or 650 mg every 4 hours. Do not take aspirin during your pregnancy unless instructed to do so by your physician. Aspirin may cause problems with blood clotting and cause other problems during labor and delivery. Do not take ibuprofen (Advil) unless instructed by your physician, especially in the last 3 months of your pregnancy. If a headache persists for more than 24 hours, you should call your physician. If you have fever during pregnancy, you may also use Tylenol in the same dosage as above, up to 2 tablets or 650 mg every 4 hours. You should pay particular attention to the label on any over-the-counter medicines. Many Tylenol-brand medicines (Tylenol Cold and Cough, Tylenol Sinus, etc) can contain ingredients other than acetaminophen. You should consult with your physician before taking anything other than regular Tylenol. Everything you take into your body passes from your blood to baby's blood; therefore, it is best to avoid all over-the-counter medicines especially in the first eight weeks of pregnancy (Ten weeks after your last menstrual period) if at all possible. The first eight weeks are when your baby's heart, lung and brain systems are being formed. Before taking over-the-counter medicines try other ways to relieve your symptoms. You should turn to over-the-counter medicines only as a last resort.

Answer 3

Yes. • Before taking minocycline, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following drugs:
· cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol (Colestid);
· an antacid such as Tums, Rolaids, Milk of Magnesia, Maalox, and others;
· a product that contains bismuth subsalicylate such as Pepto-Bismol;
· minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements;
· ergot medicines such as ergotamine (Ergomar, Cafergot, Migranal, Wigraine), dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45), and others;
· a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin);
· isotretinoin (Accutane);
· a penicillin antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox, others), penicillin (BeePen-VK, Pen-Vee K, Veetids, others), dicloxacillin (Dynapen), carbenicillin (Geocillin), oxacillin (Bactocill), and others; or
· methoxyflurane (an inhaled anesthetic gas used during surgery).
• If you are using any of these drugs, you may not be able to use minocycline, or you may need dosage adjustments or special tests during treatment.
• Minocycline can make birth control pills less effective. Use a non-hormonal method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking minocycline.
• There may be other drugs not listed that can affect minocycline. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.
