Properties:
Flucamox is a combination of two broad-spectrum semi-synthetic penicillins: Amoxycihin and Flucloxacillin. Amoxycillin covers a wide range of Gm+ve and Gm-ye microorganisms. Unlike ampicillin the absorption of Amoxycillin is not affected by the presence of food in the stomach.lt also produces higher plasma and tissue concentrations than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin.
Flucloxacillin (isoxazolyl penicillin) is resistnt to penicillinase enzyme and thus it acts on penicillinase producing microorganisms including most Staphylococci .Flucamox is well absorbed from the Gi.T with high peak blood levels that last for more than 8 hours.
