The FDA has approved additional strengths of Medicis’ SOLODYN(R) (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients aged 12 years and more. The drug will now be available in 65mg and 115mg dosages also. “These additional strengths will complement the current SOLODYN lineup to offer physicians more precise weight-based dosing options, and make SOLODYN the first and only extended release minocycline with five FDA-approved dosing strengths. We believe physicians and patients will appreciate the value of this greater dosing precision,” Jonah Shacknai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Medicis said.
