Stick to schedule: Most medications have a specific dosage schedule to ensure that you have the correct level of the medication in your blood stream to ensure the best efficacy. While you don't have to be exact on the dosage times, it is important to stay within an hour or less of the time you should be taking the medication.

Yes: This can work to help you avoid working at night time.

Question 8

will flucloxacillin help epididymitis?

Accepted Answer

: It is not a drug of choice for bacterial epididymitis. We usually use fluoroquinolones or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for better coverage and good concentration in genitourinary tract.

Question 9

can you run while taking flucloxacillin?

Accepted Answer

: Sure. All antibiotics are safe with even the most vigorous physical activity.

Question 10

can my man take flucloxacillin for he's toothache?

Accepted Answer

No: You should never take anyone's medication other than your own.  There are many reasons for this such as potential allergic reactions or drug interactions, expiration of the medication, or it might be the wrong medication.  If he has a tooth ache he should see a dentist because even if the antibiotics were to help he still needs to get it looked at.
