Can you catch a throat infection while on minocin (minocycline)?

Yes: Most sore throats are caused by viruses not bacteria. Minocin (minocycline) does not kill viruses.

Yes: If you are on Minocin (minocycline) or any antibiotic and get an infection it means the infection is resistant to the antibiotic you are on or is a type of infection ( viral, fungal, etc. ) that will not respond to this type of medication. This can also happen if you have a weakened immune system.
