Description
Flumox suspension is an oral, broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. When reconstituted, it provides a dosage of 125 mg of Amoxicillin and 125 mg of Flucloxacillin per 5 ml.
Key Description Points
- Active Ingredients: The medication is a combination of two penicillin-type antibiotics: Amoxicillin (a broad-spectrum penicillin) and Flucloxacillin (a narrow-spectrum, penicillinase-resistant penicillin).
- Mechanism of Action: Both components are bactericidal, meaning they kill bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. The combination broadens the range of bacteria the medicine is effective against, including some beta-lactamase-producing strains, and prevents antagonism between the two antibiotics.
- Formulation: It is typically supplied as a dry powder mix that must be reconstituted with water before oral administration as a suspension.
- Indications: Flumox is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis).
- Skin and soft tissue infections (e.g., boils, abscesses, cellulitis).
- Ear, nose, and throat infections (e.g., otitis media, tonsillitis).
- Urinary tract infections.
- Bone infections (e.g., osteomyelitis).
