Properties: 
FLUMOX® isa combination of two bactericidal penicillins: amoxycilin (broadspectwm penicillin) and flucloxacillin (penicillinase-resistant penicillin), to produce a wider spectrum of ac5vity. Flucloxacillin exerts a bactericidal action on penicillinase -producing microorganism including most staphylococci.This combination exhibits bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms including penicillinase and 41 on peniciiinase - producing Staphylococci, Streptococcus pyogenes, pneumoniae, and faecalis, Corynebacterillm diphtheriae, Clostridia S pp., Bacillus anthracis; H.influenzae, Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis, N.gonorrheae and meningitidis, E,coli Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Bordetella pertussis . and Bacteroides melaninogenicus.

Pharmacokinetics: Both amoxycillin and flucloxacillin are acid-stable and are well absorbed after oral administration. Amoxycillin is more rapidly absorbed than ampicillin producing higher plasma concentrations than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin. Peak plasma concentrations of amosycillin and fluclosacillin are achieved in about ito 2 hours after oral administration; and in about 30 minutes after parenteral administration.FLUMOX® is widely distributed in body tissues and fluids. Amoxycillin and fluclosacillin are metabolized to a limited extent, and the unchanged drugs and metabolites are excreted in the urine by glomerular filtration and renal tubular secretion and also in bile.
