Stafoxin (Flucloxacillin Sodium) is an isoxazolyl penicillin which combines the properties of resistance to hydrolysis by penicillinase, gastric acid stability and activity against gram-positive bacteria. Flucloxacillin is a bactericidal antibiotic that is particularly useful against penicillinase producing staphylococci.
The administration of Probenecid with Flucloxacillin results in higher peak serum concentrations of Flucloxacillin. Physical incompatibility and/or loss of activity of Flucloxacillin have been reported when given with Gentamycin Sulphate, Streptomycin Sulphate and Vitamin mixtures.
Penicillin hypersensitivity.
Gastrointestinal upsets e.g. nausea, diarrhoea and skin rashes have been reported. If skin rash occurs, treatment should be discontinued.
Hypersensitive to penicillin or cephalosporin. Older patients receiving Flucloxacillin for longer than two weeks are at a risk of jaundice. In the presence of severe renal failure (creatinine clearance < 10ml/min) a reduction in dosage or an extension of dose interval should be considered.
