XFLUX CAP 500MG is an antibiotic medication containing 500 mg of flucloxacillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic. It is primarily used to treat infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including β-lactamase-producing staphylococci and streptococci. Common indications include skin and soft tissue infections such as boils, abscesses, cellulitis, infected wounds, and burns, as well as respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, pharyngitis, and sinusitis.

Flucloxacillin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. It is available in capsule form, typically taken orally. The usual adult dosage ranges from 1 to 3 grams per day, divided into three to four doses, depending on the severity and type of infection. For children under 10 years, the recommended dose is 25-50 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, divided into three to four doses.

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, liver dysfunction, and blood disorders. Flucloxacillin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to penicillin or other β-lactam antibiotics. Caution is advised in patients with a history of liver disease or jaundice. Drug interactions may occur with other medications, so it’s important to inform your healthcare provider of all drugs you are currently taking.
