Pharmacology
Indication: Used to treat bacterial infection by susceptible microorganisms.
Pharmacology:
Flucloxacillin is a penicillin beta-lactam antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible, usually gram-positive, organisms. The name "penicillin" can either refer to several variants of penicillin available, or to the group of antibiotics derived from the penicillins. Flucloxacillin has in vitro activity agai...

Mechanism of Action: By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, flucloxacillin inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that flucloxacillin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
Absorption: Bioavailability is 50–70% following oral administration.
Biotransformation: Hepatic.
Half Life: 0.75–1 hour
Affected organisms: Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria
