Flucloxacillin is a penicillin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections.
Antibiotics are medicines that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Different antibiotic classes target different bacterial structures or processes. The choice of antibiotic depends on the infection type, likely organism, local resistance patterns, and patient factors.
Used to treat bacterial infections. Always complete the prescribed course even if you feel better. Do not use antibiotics for viral infections such as colds or flu.
Take the full prescribed course. Report any allergic reactions immediately. Use only when prescribed — inappropriate use contributes to antibiotic resistance.
