Side effects of Flucloxacillin

I am taking this at the moment and dont have a rash

Sorry no other advice to add

ring NHS direct ?

<not a doctor> /medicine/flucloxacillin-for-infection this says a rash is a common side effect and to see a doctor if it persists

Well, they always say that if the side effects become unbearable / cause real problems then you should contact a medical proffessional

Right, thanks.? I shall give them a call

Did the rash come up after the first dose?

2 options. Either it's an allergic reaction, or you have/have had a virus that reacts with penicillin to cause a rash (glandular fever is an example).

Or, because I'm not an expert, there's a third option that I don't know about.

In any case, I'd stop taking them for the moment and get a medical opinion tomorrow.

Thanks ? I googled but that website never came up. The rash started today so shall see how I go over the weekend.

Thank you too, it started today which is my 3rd day on them, my leg itched before that but thats where the bites are that became infected.

Another site says that itching isnt good I would call NHSdirect to be honest, just to make sure

I've never been allerigc before but I suppose you can change ? arrrgghhh always happens over a weekend.

Yes, you can changed. My allergies didn't start until I was in my early 20s. And very oddly, some of them have disappeared since I had a baby.

Hope it's not an allergic reaction, but best to get checked. If you do get any wheezing or shortness of breath at all, definitely get seen by someone.
