Can you use staphylex for urine infection?
Flucloxacillin can be used to treat the urinary tract infection. Use of isolated flucloxacillin is not recommended for this condition. As it has little antibacterial activity of it's own. It should be used preferably with ampicillin or amoxicillin. (Resistance to flucloxacillin was reported for the first time, in London, in 1964, by staphylococci.)
Is flucloxacillin the same as amoxillin?
No, flucloxacillin and amoxicillin are not the same; they are different antibiotics. Flucloxacillin is a penicillin antibiotic primarily used to treat infections caused by penicillin-resistant staphylococci, while amoxicillin is used for a broader range of bacterial infections. Both belong to the penicillin class but have different mechanisms and indications for use. It's essential to use the correct antibiotic based on the type of infection being treated.

Can flucloxacillin be used to treat lymes disease?
Flucloxacillin is not typically used to treat Lyme disease. Lyme disease is primarily treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin, which are effective against the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that causes the infection. Flucloxacillin is usually prescribed for infections caused by Staphylococcus bacteria, particularly those that are resistant to penicillin. Therefore, it's important to use the appropriate antibiotics for Lyme disease to ensure effective treatment.
Can flucloxacillin be taken for tonsillitis?
The cause for tonsillitis is either viral infections or streptococcal infection. You do not need antibiotic for viral infections. The bacteria which causes tonsillitis is streptococci. Streptococci practically never produce beta lactamase enzyme. Flucloxacillin is used to treat the beta lactamase producing bacteria. The antibacterial action of flucloxacillin itself is very less as compared to penicillin or ampicillin. So flucloxacillin for tonsillitis is a bad choice.
