Meclocycline (INN) is a tetracycline antibiotic.[1] It is used topically (i.e. for skin infections) as it is totally insoluble in water and may cause liver and kidney damage if given systemically.[citation needed]

Its production for medical use has been discontinued.[2] It was previously sold in the United States by Pfizer under the brand name Meclan.[3]
