Hello, Binky! How is your mother-in-law doing?

Yes, the dosage can vary depending on someone's overall health and the severity of the infection being treated.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been taking floxacillan for 10 days and I've been on 4000mg a day. I've not taken them for 3 days but I feel very nauseated.

Thank you for your reply, fortunately my mother-in-law did not seem to suffer any side affects and then cellulitis seems to have improved. She has had it for months but didn't go to the Dr.

I have these flucloxacillin 500mg caps, but am allergic to penicillin that I used to take 20 years ago.

Is this the same sort of drug or will this be safe for me to take?

I have an opened up leg ulcer and got a bacterial infection. I have been given Flucloxacillin 500mg 4x a day, but I have side effects and am coping. Will this kill the bacterial infection?
