Floxacillin -are the side effects worth it?
Posted , 4 users are following.
hi - just thought I'd add my penny worth to the side effects debate with this drug. My husband is just getting over having legionella and unfortunately his trachaetomy site has got infected so was prescribed this
4 times a day , after two days of taking them he complained of really bad
indigestion and aching legs!!!. As it is only 2 weeks since he came out of hospital I put it down to the legionella but after reading other peoples experiences will make an appointment with his doctor!!! I dare'nt let him stop it until then but have taken onboard everyones comments about making sure he has an empty stomach .THANKS

Thankyou Tarun, I have been taking Flucloxacillin for 2 days and I have terrible stomach cramps and indigestion. I have also taken some Gaviscon to relieve the pain.
Taking antibiotics on an empty stomach surely isn't right???
