What Are the Most Common Flucloxacillin Side Effects?

Flucloxacillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin-resistant penicillin. It is an isoxazole derivative of penicillin. It is chemically related to three other isoxazole penicillins (cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, Oxazocillin) is similar. Mainly by inhibiting the biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls, accelerating the decomposition of bacterial cell walls, thereby playing an antibacterial effect. This product can be administered orally or parenterally. Flucloxacillin is mainly used clinically for various peripheral infections caused by staphylococci. But it is not effective for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Application of flucloxacillin

For Streptococcus spp. Such as hemolytic streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and non-green

Flucloxacillin The staphylococci of the mycolytic enzyme have a good antibacterial effect. Moderate antibacterial effect on Enterococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Corynebacterium diphtheria, Bacillus anthracis, Bovine actinomycetes, Streptococcus candida, Listeria, Leptospira and Treponema pallidum This product is sensitive. This product also has certain antibacterial activity against Haemophilus and Bordetella pertussis, and other Gram-negative aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria are less sensitive to this product. This product is sensitive to Clostridium sp Aerobic bacteria and Bacteroides melanogaster have good antibacterial effect, but they have poor antibacterial effect on B. fragile. Penicillin exerts a bactericidal effect by inhibiting the binding of bacterial cell wall tetrapeptide chains and pentapeptide cross-linking bridges to hinder cell wall synthesis. It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. Penicillin has little effect on Gram-negative bacteria due to the lack of a pentapeptide bridge. ^[2]
