Flucloxacillin is a penicillinase-resistant antibiotic effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis by inhibiting transpeptidase enzymes (penicillin-binding proteins), weakening the wall and causing cell lysis. It resists hydrolysis by penicillinase due to steric hindrance from its acyl side chain, making it highly effective against resistant strains.

✔️
Dosage & Administration
Oral (on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals):
- Adults: 250 mg 4 times daily; up to 8 g/day in severe infections like osteomyelitis or endocarditis.
- Children (2–10 years): Half of the adult dose.
- Children (<2 years): One-quarter of the adult dose.
Parenteral (IM/IV):
- Adults: 250 mg to 1 g 4 times daily; can be doubled in severe infections.
- Children (2–10 years): Half the adult dose.
- Children (<2 years): One-quarter of the adult dose.
Reconstitution for IV: Dissolve 250–500 mg in 5–10 mL of water for injection. For IV infusion, further dilute in suitable fluids like 0.9% NaCl or 5% glucose.
✔️ Words of Advice:
- Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve early.
- Take on an empty stomach for better absorption.
- Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists or severe side effects develop.
- Report any allergic reaction immediately.
✔️ Mechanism of Action
Flucloxacillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to bacterial lysis.
✔️ Missed Dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If it’s close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.
✔️ Use in Special Populations
- Renal Impairment (CrCl <10 ml/min): Adjust dosage or extend interval.
- Pregnancy: Generally safe (FDA Category B), use only if necessary.
- Lactation: Use with caution; may be present in breast milk.
- Elderly: Dose as in adults, with consideration for renal function.
✔️ Interaction
- May increase methotrexate toxicity
- May reduce the effectiveness of estrogen-based contraceptives
- Probenecid can raise plasma levels of flucloxacillin
- Chloramphenicol and tetracyclines may reduce their bactericidal activity
- May enhance bleeding risk when used with oral anticoagulants
✔️ Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to penicillins
- History of penicillin-induced cholestatic jaundice/hepatitis
- Porphyria
✔️ Use cautiously in patients with:
- Liver dysfunction
- Allergic history (especially penicillin sensitivity)
- Heart failure or renal impairment (high doses may cause neurotoxicity)
Avoid prolonged use to prevent superinfections. Monitor liver, renal, and hematologic status during extended therapy.
✔️ Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
