✔️ Pharmacology

Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic that mainly targets Gram-positive organisms, including penicillinase-producing strains. It inhibits the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for their mechanical stability. This inhibition interferes with peptidoglycan synthesis, a crucial process for the bacterial cell wall. The final stage of peptidoglycan synthesis involves cross-linking with the terminal glycine residue of the pentaglycin bridge, and Flucloxacillin inhibits the transpeptidase enzyme responsible for this step.

As a bactericidal antibiotic, Flucloxacillin kills bacteria by weakening their cell walls, causing the cells to swell and rupture. The unique properties of Flucloxacillin, including resistance to penicillinase (an enzyme that degrades penicillin) and gastric acid stability, make it particularly effective against penicillinase-producing staphylococci. The presence of an acyl side chain in Flucloxacillin likely contributes to its resistance to bacterial penicillinase by inducing steric hindrance, preventing the opening of the β-lactam ring of the antibiotic.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Flux 500mg Capsule

  1. Take on an empty stomach: ½-1 hour before meals.
  2. Reconstitution: Dissolve 250-500 mg in 5-10 mL water for injection or 1 g in 15-20 mL water for injection. For IV infusion, further dilute in suitable IV fluids like water for injection, NaCl 0.9%, glucose 5%, or NaCl 0.18% with glucose 4%.

Adult Dose:

  • Oral: 250-500 mg, 3-4 times a day.

✔️ Interaction
  • Methotrexate Toxicity: Flux 500mg Capsule may increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity, so caution should be exercised when using these medications together.
  • Oral Contraceptives: The efficacy of estrogen-containing oral contraceptives (OC) may be decreased when used concomitantly with Flux 500mg Capsule. An alternative or additional contraceptive method may be considered.
  • Probenecid: Co-administration with probenecid may enhance plasma concentrations of flucloxacillin, so close monitoring is recommended.
  • Bacteriostatic Drugs: Bacteriostatic drugs like chloramphenicol and tetracycline may interfere with the bactericidal effect of flucloxacillin. Caution is advised when using these drugs together.
  • Oral Anticoagulants: Flux 500mg Capsule may prolong bleeding time in patients on oral anticoagulants. Regular monitoring of bleeding parameters is important in these patients.
✔️ Contraindications

Flucloxacillin is contraindicated in penicillin-hypersensitive patients.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation
