Question 1

can you run while taking flucloxacillin?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

taking flucloxacillin and have gotten 2 small rashes?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction?: Without seeing the rash there is no way in which it can be diagnosed over the internet, but the potential that this may be somehow related to the flucloxacillin as an allergic reaction or secondary infection would prompt one to go and see the doctor who prescribed this and let them evaluate the rash. Good luck.

Question 3

could i do heavy exercise while taking flucloxacillin?

Accepted Answer

Not so much: The antibiotic - unlike quinolones which you want to avoid heavy resistance training related to tendon issues.  But depending on why you are taking this antibiotic, that may be the reason to avoid heavy exercise.  Unfortunately, you didn't mention why you are taking this antibiotic.

Question 4

can you drink alcohol when you are taking flucloxacillin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes no problem.

Question 5

hi i have a infected tounge piercing , will taking flucloxacillin sodium ca 500mg help with treating it ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The best way to treat an infected tongue piercing is not to get a tongue piercing. That said, a penicillin of some sort should help as would removing the hardware.

Question 6

can flucloxacillin treat sti's?

Accepted Answer

No: It's not used to treat stds, and would be unlikely to work.

Question 7

can flucloxacillin be used as a morning after pill?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic, and to my knowledge has no use as a morning after pill.

Question 8

is it safe to take flucloxacillin 250g during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Flucloxacillin is absolutely safe during pregnancy, as are all penicillins provided you are not allegic.

Question 9

i have a broken tibia & fibila why do i need   flucloxacillin?

Accepted Answer

Skin infection?: It might have been given if you had a break in the skin with concern about skin infections.  Broken bones without breaks in the skin don't require antibiotics.

Question 10

i have been on flucloxacillin, and i feel dizzy and heavy. is this normal? it is not listed as a symptom.

Accepted Answer

Drug side-effect: This medication can rarely cause Central Nervous System (CNS) side-effects-usually less than 1% of patients, so it's possible this is somehow related. I would definitely call the doc who prescribed this and let them know. They have the responsibility to re-evaluate and either change or adjust the med, or figure out if it's something unrelated...That's quite possible too depending on your condition
