I missed 3 of my pills so took them all together, I had 2nurofen's on top of that, is it bad? I didn't know what to do ## Hello, Kacey! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? You can't really overdose, so to speak, on an antibiotic. Though taking that many, at once, could worsen the side effects, which as listed by the FDA may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, you should consult your doctor to be sure, as you may need to take a longer course of it, or it could also have caused you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria, so you may need to take a different one. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Sorry to bother you can some over dose on flucloxaciln 500 mill ?

Learn more Flucloxacillin details here. If the symptoms are that bad, however, you could ask about taking a different antibiotic. Are you on any other medications?

I have extreme wisdom tooth pain. Can a course of flucloxacillin help with this? ## It depends why you're having the pain. If it's due to an infection, then yes, the antibiotic can help. Its typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, if they are impacted, or otherwise growing in wrong the antibiotic will not help. Have you consulted your dentist? Regardless of what the problem is, it will still have to be corrected to prevent it from recurring in the future.

Can I take Duro-tuss Cough Liquid with Staphylex (flucloxacillin) 500mg that I'm using for a skin infection? ## Hello Wally, I hope you are having a wonderful day. According to DailyMed neither Staphylex or Flucloxacillin list each other or their active ingredients as having negative interactions, however, they do state that you should consult your doctor if you plan to take any additional medication. As a general rule of thumb it's better to be safe than sorry. I hope this information helps.
