Dicloxin 500

Dicloxacillin is a penicillin-type of antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective in infections of the throat, ear, nasal sinuses, respiratory tract, and skin and soft tissue. It mainly fights and stops the growth of the gram-positive type of bacteria. Dicloxacillin should be taken on an empty stomach. For best results, it should be used regularly at evenly spaced intervals as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor. Taking it at the same time every day will help you to remember to take it. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening. The total duration of treatment and precise dosage will be decided by your doctor, depending on the type of infection that you have and how well you respond to the medication. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin or penicillin-type of medicine. Rash, vomiting, allergic reactions, nausea and diarrhea may be seen as side effects in some patients. These are temporary and usually resolve quickly. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or if your condition worsens. This medicine is generally regarded as safe to use during pregnancy if used under a doctor's supervision.

Hypersensitivity to penicillins.

Probenecid prolongs serum levels of dicloxacillin. Bacteriostatic drugs (e.g. chloramphenicol, tetracyclines) may antagonise the bactericidal effect of dicloxacillin. May reduce anticoagulant response to dicumarol and warfarin. May increase risk of methotrexate toxicity. May diminish the effect of live vaccines (e.g. typhoid vaccine).
