I have been taking minocycline for 2 years 100 mg per day would that stop me from getting chamdylia?

Probably: Minocycline has an indication to treat chlamydia. However, being on that dose for that long has potential side effects including possible bluish discoloration of the gums, ears, and shins. Also, it can make you more sensitive to sunlight. Talk to your doctor about this issue.
