Can minocycline damage kidneys? have on and off back pain. i drink plenty of fluids & eat healthy. few members of my family have hbp & kidney issues.

Unlikely, antibiotic: with most common problems being bacterial resistance & selecting for antibiotic resistant bacteria. Study: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minocycline & http://www.rxlist.com/minocin-capsules-drug.htm. Real cranberries, daily, (best individual dosage=trial & error) have a much better track record of helping prevent bladder infections, long term, than any of the Rx antibiotics.
