IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Do not use ARESTIN if you are allergic to minocycline or tetracyclines, ask your dentist if you are not sure.

- Serious allergic reactions have occurred with oral minocycline. Get emergency help right away if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction including shortness of breath, swelling of the face, throat and tongue, rash, hives, itching, fever, or enlarged lymph nodes.
- Tetracyclines, including oral minocycline, have been associated with the development of autoimmune syndromes with symptoms such as joint pain, muscle pain, rash, swelling, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, and general body weakness.
- Tell your dentist about all the medicines you take, and about any health problems you have, including if you’ve had oral candidiasis (“thrush”).
- ARESTIN has not been studied in patients with weakened immune systems, such as patients with HIV infections or diabetes, or those receiving chemotherapy or radiation.
