1. What is FLUCACID and what is it used for
FLUCACID contains the active ingredient flucloxacillin which belongs to the group of beta-lactamase resistant antibiotics (enzymes produced by bacteria and capable of blocking penicillins).
FLUCACID is indicated for the treatment of all infections caused by bacteria sensitive to
flucloxacillin.
It works by blocking beta-lactamases and enhancing the action of other broad-spectrum semi-synthetic penicillins, such as: Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, etc.
The infections that are treated with this medicine are, therefore, those severe affecting various
organs and systems.
See your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse.
2. What you need to know before taking FLUCACID
Do not take FLUCACID
- if you are allergic to flucloxacillin, to other substances chemically similar, in particular penicillins and cephalosporins, or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you are pregnant (see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking FLUCACID.
In particular:
- if you experience severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. These reactions have been reported mostly following parenteral use of penicillin, very rarely following oral administration. The onset of such reactions is however more frequent if you have a clinical history of hypersensitivity to multiple allergens of asthma, hay fever and urticaria. It is therefore necessary, before starting therapy, that you inform your doctor of the existence of any previous reactions to hypersensitivity to penicillins, cephalosporins or other substances capable of causing allergy, in particular drugs. In case of an allergic reaction, you must stop treatment and appropriate therapy must be instituted (vasopressors, antihistamines, corticosteroids) or, in the presence of anaphylaxis, immediate treatment with adrenaline or other appropriate emergency measures.
- if you suffer from kidney problems. In this case, the recommended maximum dose is 2 g in 24 hours in a single administration.
Tell your doctor if:
- you are taking antibacterial medicines at high doses and for prolonged periods as they may mask the symptoms of syphilis still in the incubation phase. In this case, your doctor will subject you to analysis to diagnose syphilis.
- you are taking penicillins or other antibiotics for a prolonged period. This can promote the development of microorganisms not sensitive to these medicines (including fungi). In this case, your doctor will indicate an adequate treatment.
- If you are taking or will take paracetamol: There is a risk of alterations in blood composition and electrolyte imbalance (metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap) which occur when there is an increase in plasma acidity, in cases where flucloxacillin is co-administered with paracetamol, particularly in certain groups of patients at risk, such as patients with severe renal insufficiency, blood infection or malnutrition, especially if the maximum daily doses of paracetamol are used. Metabolic acidosis with elevated anion gap is a serious condition that requires urgent treatment.
- if you experience diarrhoea
- if you have been prescribed a low-salt diet
Other medicines and FLUCACID
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take
any other medicine.
In particular:
- probenecid, (a medicine used to treat gout)
- the contraceptive pill, as the administration of FLUCACID, like other antibiotics, can reduce the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill.
- aminoglycoside antibiotics (to treat infections). Concurrent administration with these medicines may increase the effect of FLUCACID.
FLUCACID with food
The presence of food in the stomach reduces the absorption of the drug (see section “How
to take FLUCACID”). Take FLUCACID half an hour before meals, because the presence of food
in the stomach reduces the absorption of the medicine.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding
with breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
The use of FLUCACID in pregnancy should be reserved to the doctor's judgment in cases of actual
need.
Breastfeeding
As FLUCACID passes into breast milk, your doctor will decide whether you should stop
breastfeeding and start treatment or, conversely, continue breastfeeding avoiding the
administration of the medicine.
Driving and using machines
It does not impair the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery.
3. How to take FLUCACID
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Adults
The recommended dose is one tablet every 6-8 hours, as directed by your doctor.
Children (8-14 years)
The recommended dose is half a tablet every 8 hours, as directed by your doctor.
To achieve maximum blood concentration, it is recommended to take FLUCACID
half an hour before meals, because the presence of food in the stomach reduces the absorption of
the medicine.
In case of severe gastrointestinal disorders with vomiting and/or diarrhea, sufficient
absorption of the tablets is not guaranteed.
If you take more FLUCACID than you should
No reports of toxic effects from FLUCACID overdose are known.
Possible symptoms of an overdose are gastrointestinal disorders, electrolyte imbalances
(increased or decreased content of Sodium, Potassium and Chlorine in the blood, neuromuscular
disorders and convulsions.
In case of ingestion of excessive doses of the drug, emergency interventions should be
aimed at counteracting the symptoms that may occur.
If you have any doubts about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
