The doktor discribe me with flupen 250mg 2 tablets every 6 hours (is it normal )and using it since janaury but the wound didn't heal yet ## Flupen contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin; which is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is not intended however, for healing a wound. Just getting rid of the infection. As far as dosing protocols go, this is going to be different for everyone depending on the severity and type of infection. Based on my research though, the usual adult dosage tends to be 250mg 4 times daily; which would amount to taking it every 6 hours. I hope this helps! :) ## My mother is 71 years old.

The clinic gave me flupen 250 cause I have masstitus is it safe to use while breastfeeding and can it dry up my milk ## It has not been known to cause issues during pregnancy, or breastfeeding, but you should only take it if the prescribing doctor is aware that you are breastfeeding and infant. It is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash, and headache. Were you prescribed any other medications, Nicky?

Hi, I have been prescribed Flupen 250mg to treat a diabetic foot infection. Since I started taking it 5 days ago, my foot keeps on swelling. Is this one of the side effects? ## Flupen contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin, it is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. The swelling is most likely related to the infection itself, rather than the Flupen, but if it is not improving, you should inform your doctor as it may not be the right antibiotic to help you. The typical side effects of Flupen may include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Ref: Antibiotic Information Has there been any change?

The doctor prescribed Flupen 250 after circumcision. I take 2 pills every 2 hours. My question is, is that the right dosage? My brother cant remember what was said but the package says 2 pills every 2 hours. ## Hello Thenji, According to the NIH Flupen contains the active ingredient Flucloxacillin, which is typically used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. The NIH goes on to say that the common adult dosage is 250mg 4 times daily which would come out to taking it every 6 hours, however, it is important to follow the instructions that your doctor gave you as they are most informed of your medical needs. I suggest that you call your doctor and check to see what his administration instructions were. I hope this helps.
