Minocycline, the antibiotic may help schizophrenia

Posted by Bob12 on March 5, 2012, at 15:22:35

The anitbiotic Minocycline, often used for acne, may help alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia:

The National Institute for Health Research is funding a £1.9m trial of minocycline, which will begin recruiting patients in the UK next month. The research follows case reports from Japan in which the drug was prescribed to patients with schizophrenia who had infections and led to dramatic improvements in their psychotic symptoms.
