Composition

Each capsule contains:

• Flucloxacillin Sodium 500 mg

This formulation delivers strong antibacterial activity against susceptible Gram-positive organisms.

Indications

Flubac Capsule is indicated for the treatment of:

• Moderate to severe skin and soft tissue infections (cellulitis, abscess, impetigo)
• Respiratory tract infections
• Bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis)
• Wound and post-surgical infections
• Staphylococcal infections resistant to penicillinase

Use should be based on culture sensitivity and physician recommendation.

Pharmacological Action

Flucloxacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by:

• Inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis
• Binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
• Resisting breakdown by penicillinase enzymes produced by resistant Staphylococci
• Causing bacterial cell lysis and death

This makes it highly effective against penicillin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria.

Dosage & Administration

• Dosage depends on infection severity and physician advice
• Commonly taken 4 times daily (every 6 hours)
• Best taken on an empty stomach for improved absorption
• Swallow capsule with water
• Complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to Flucloxacillin or other penicillins

Precautions & Warnings

• Use cautiously in patients with liver or kidney impairment
