Common conditions Flucloxacillin is used for:

• Cellulitis

• Boils and Abscesses

• Infected cuts, wounds, or abrasions

How Flucloxacillin Works

Flucloxacillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics.
It works by:

• Blocking the bacteria’s ability to form protective cell walls

• Stopping the growth and spread of infection

• Allowing the body to naturally eliminate the harmful bacteria

This helps reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, and pain caused by skin infections.
