Floxamo 1 Mg 16 Tablets

Description:

Floxamo 1 mg 16 tablets is a systemic antibiotic medicine combining amoxicillin and flucloxacillin, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the penicillin class and is formulated to provide broad-spectrum coverage against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, particularly in respiratory, urinary, skin, soft tissue, ear, nose, throat, and gynecological infections. This product is intended for use under medical supervision and is commonly prescribed in Egypt for acute and chronic infections where mixed bacterial flora are suspected.

Indications:

• Acute and chronic bronchitis and other lower respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria (e.g., productive cough, chest congestion, fever).
• Pneumonia and other serious respiratory infections characterized by fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, and purulent sputum.
• Ear, nose, and throat infections such as otitis media, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis due to susceptible organisms.
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs) including cystitis and pyelonephritis presenting with burning urination, frequency, urgency, or flank pain.
• Skin and soft tissue infections such as cellulitis, infected wounds, abscesses, and infected dermatitis.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
• General mixed bacterial infections where both amoxicillin- and flucloxacillin-sensitive organisms are suspected.
• Use only for bacterial infections as prescribed by a healthcare professional; not effective for viral infections such as common cold or flu.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not self-medicate or adjust the dose without medical advice.
• Typical adult dose (for floxamo 500/500 mg reference): 1 tablet every 8 hours (three times daily), or as directed by the physician. The exact dosage regimen for this specific pack should be confirmed on the product leaflet or by your doctor.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Preferably taken before meals to optimize absorption of flucloxacillin, unless your doctor recommends a different schedule.
• Duration of treatment usually ranges from 5 to 14 days depending on the type and severity of infection; always complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve earlier to prevent relapse and antibiotic resistance.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• For children, elderly patients, or those with kidney or liver impairment, the dose and frequency may need adjustment; follow your doctor’s specific instructions.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage by combining amoxicillin and flucloxacillin, targeting a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Helps rapidly control signs and symptoms of infection such as fever, pain, inflammation, and purulent discharge when used appropriately.
• Effective in mixed infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, and gynecological organs where multiple bacterial species may be involved.
• Reduces the risk of complications from untreated bacterial infections, such as spread of infection, abscess formation, or chronic disease progression.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to amoxicillin, flucloxacillin, other penicillins, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema, severe skin reactions) to beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems).
• Inform your doctor if you have kidney impairment, liver disease, infectious mononucleosis, history of cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction associated with flucloxacillin, or any other serious medical condition.
• Antibiotic-associated colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) may occur; if you develop persistent or severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, or blood/mucus in stool, stop the medicine and contact your doctor immediately.
• May interact with other medicines such as anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), methotrexate, allopurinol, probenecid, and other antibiotics; always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding only under medical supervision. Penicillins generally have a good safety profile, but the benefit–risk must be assessed by your doctor.
• Not intended for viral infections such as common cold or influenza; misuse can promote antibiotic resistance.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, or history of allergies.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching, urticaria (hives). If these occur, contact your doctor; treatment may need to be stopped.
• Serious allergic reactions (rare): difficulty breathing, wheezing, swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe dizziness, or anaphylactic shock. Seek emergency medical attention immediately if these occur.
• Possible liver-related effects (more associated with flucloxacillin): jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), dark urine, severe fatigue, or abdominal pain. If you notice these, stop the medicine and contact your doctor urgently.
