Floxapen Suspension 125mg/5ml – Effective Antibiotic for Children’s Infections

Floxapen Suspension contains flucloxacillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, especially those caused by staphylococci. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and soft tissue infections in children. This oral suspension is specially formulated to make dosing easier for young patients.

Ingredients

Active Ingredient: Flucloxacillin 125mg per 5ml
Inactive Ingredients: May include sucrose, sodium benzoate, xanthan gum, flavoring agents, citric acid, and purified water

How Floxapen Works

Flucloxacillin works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls. It targets gram-positive bacteria, particularly those resistant to other penicillins, like beta-lactamase producing staphylococci. This mechanism helps eliminate the infection and supports recovery with minimal resistance risk.

Uses of Floxapen Suspension

Treatment of skin and soft tissue infections (boils, abscesses, impetigo)
Respiratory tract infections like sore throat, bronchitis, and tonsillitis
Bone and joint infections (under medical supervision)
Infections caused by penicillin-sensitive staphylococcus bacteria

How to Use

Shake well before each use. Dose as prescribed by a healthcare provider, usually taken 3–4 times a day before meals. Use the provided measuring spoon or cup for accuracy. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.

Precautions

Not suitable for patients allergic to penicillins or cephalosporins
May cause mild side effects like nausea, diarrhea, or rash
