i have bad cramps also taken flucillin ## What types of cramps are you having? Stomach, abdominal, general muscle? The reasoning for them can vary, depending on what type you are experiencing. Calvepen contains Phenoxymethylpenicillin and Flucillin contains Flucloxacillin, both of which are antibiotics. If you are experiencing abdominal cramping, it may be caused by these medications, because they are known to cause some gastric side effects, including diarrhea. If it is just general muscle cramping, especially in the legs and feet, it may be due to the fact that most antibiotics, if taken for a long period of time, can deplete your potassium levels. Have you consulted your doctor?

It's generally best to stay away from alcohol, when taking a prescription medication, because it tends to worsen the side effects, so as listed by the FDA, you may experience a lot more nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headache than usual.
