Pharmacology
Indication: For the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.
Pharmacology:
Cyclacillin, a penicillin, is a cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid. Cyclacillin is more resistant to beta-lactamase hydrolysis than ampicillin, is much better absorbed when given by mouth and, as a result, the levels reached in the blood and in the urine are considerably higher than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin.

Mechanism of Action: The bactericidal activity of cyclacillin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cyclacillin is stable in the presence of a variety of b-lactamases, including penicillinases and some cephalosporinases.
Absorption: Moderately absorbed.
Toxicity: Symptoms of overdose include severe diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
Affected organisms: Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria
