> I seem to remember that the original protocol called for mnocycline and aspirin twice a day, have you decided to leave out the aspirin, or has that part of the treatment since been dropped more widely?
I know the study you are referring to. Of the current studies of minocycline, it is the only one that uses aspirin. It is interesting that they are focused on brain inflammation rather than some of the other actities that minocycline participates in. Because there are 4 arms to the study, they might very well find that the aspirin is unnecessary. If it turns out that aspirin makes minocycline work better, it would be an amazing finding. I just so happen to be taking aspirin 81 mg/day (81 mg q.d.) as a prophylactic against heart disease. The dosage being used in the study is 162 mg/day (81 mg b.i.d.)
