Description

It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and is primarily used for treating a variety of bacterial infections.

Available in a pack of 6 strips, each containing 4 capsules, A-Flox 500mg is designed to provide a full course of treatment, ensuring effective management of bacterial infections as prescribed by your doctor.

Functions

Flucloxacillin, the active ingredient in A-Flox 500mg, works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It does so by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing the bacteria to die. This broad-spectrum antibiotic is particularly useful in treating infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. It is effective against conditions such as respiratory infections, ENT infections, urinary tract infections, and soft tissue infections.

Precautions

A-Flox 500mg Capsule should be used with caution in patients with liver (hepatic) disorders or severe kidney (renal) dysfunction. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease or kidney problems, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. It is also important to consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the safety of Flucloxacillin in these conditions is not fully established.

Side Effects

Common side effects of A-Flox 500mg Capsule include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Allergic reactions like skin rashes or itching may occur, and in rare cases, liver dysfunction such as jaundice or elevated liver enzymes can be observed. If any of these symptoms become severe or persistent, contact your doctor immediately.

Cautions

A-Flox 500mg Capsule should not be used by individuals who are allergic to Flucloxacillin or other penicillin-based antibiotics. Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of liver problems, especially jaundice related to Flucloxacillin. If any signs of liver issues, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during the treatment to reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Always follow your doctor's guidance and take the prescribed dosage for the full treatment period, even if you begin to feel better before the course is completed.
