일반 설명Flucloxacillin was synthesized by Beecham Research Laboratories in 1962 as a penicillinase-stable and orally active semisynthetic penicillin. It shows almost the same activity as dicloxacillin, and it has slightly higher serum and tissue concentrations than dicloxacillin. This drug has been used to treat pyoderma, sepsis, and postoperative infections as well as ear and nose, respiratory tract, and other infections caused by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, including benzylpenicillin-resistant strains.
