Description
Flucloxacillin 500mg Injection (often available under brand names like “Flux” or “Flupene”) is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) supplied as a powder for solution, requiring reconstitution and administration by a healthcare professional. Containing 500mg of Flucloxacillin Sodium, this potent penicillinase-resistant antibiotic is crucial for treating severe bacterial infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, where oral therapy is inadequate. Its uses include serious skin and soft tissue infections, severe respiratory tract infections (like pneumonia), bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis), endocarditis, and septicaemia. Flucloxacillin injection works by rapidly eliminating bacteria through cell wall disruption. It is administered via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) routes, with dosage and duration determined by your doctor based on infection severity.
