About the product

Flucloxacillin Tablets contain flucloxacillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections such as those caused by infected insect bites. When an insect bite becomes infected, it can lead to redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes pus due to bacteria entering the skin. Flucloxacillin works by preventing bacteria from forming cell walls, which stops their growth and kills them. It is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of skin infections. Tablets are usually taken on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after food, for best absorption. Completing the full prescribed course helps ensure the infection is fully cleared and reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance.
