Its broad-spectrum action helps in effectively treating both gram-positive and certain gram-negative bacterial infections.

Before using A-Flox 250mg Capsule, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider if you have any history of liver (hepatic) dysfunction or kidney (renal) issues, as the medicine should be used with caution in such cases. The safety of A-Flox during pregnancy and lactation is not fully established, so it’s important to consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Additionally, always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

If any side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, consult your doctor immediately.

Cautions

A-Flox 250mg Capsule should be avoided by patients who are allergic to Flucloxacillin or any other penicillin antibiotics.
