A member asked:
Can minocycline cure syphillis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Doxycycline, which is related to minocycline, is used to treat syphilis in people who are allergic to penicillin, the preferred drug. Minocycline would probably have activity against syphilis, but it hasn't been studied the way Doxycycline has.
