Composition

Pharmacological Action

Flucloxacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that works by:

• Inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis
• Binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
• Resisting destruction by penicillinase enzymes produced by resistant Staphylococci
• Causing bacterial cell lysis and death

This makes it effective against penicillin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria.
