Flucloxacillin (INN) or floxacillin (USAN) is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic of the penicillin class. It is used to treat infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria. Unlike other penicillins, flucloxacillin has activity against beta-lactamase-producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus as it is beta-lactamase stable. However, it is ineffective against MRSA. It is very similar to dicloxacillin and these two agents are considered interchangeable. Flucloxacillin is also available under a variety of trade names including Floxapen (Beecham, now GSK), Flopen (CSL), Flubiotic (Navana Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) Luf (Apex Pharma Ltd.) and Flubex (Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited in Bangladesh) .
