Flupen contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin. This medication is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class, which works by killing or stopping the growth of bacteria. Unfortunately when it comes to antibiotics, they are not indicated for the treatment of cold or flu symptoms, unless that flu happened to have originated from a bacterial infection. If you have a way of confirming this with your doctor, that would probably be the next step I would take before deciding on an appropriate treatment option.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Flucloxacillin Details

I hope this advice helps!
