Hello everyone, can anyone advise on how successful Flucloxacillin has been as a prophylaxis against staph? I’ve now on this twice a day. My normal other one is Colomycin for pseudomonas. Thank you 🌺🌸

Hi I can’t say how well it works as on 2 occasions I have been prescribed this medication I have reacted very badly to it. It burns from my mouth to my stomach I have been in agony and had to stop taking it. Barbs x

Sorry to hear that, oh dear! Hopefully you have now found medication that’s helps. I’d imagine it’s all trial and error. X

Hi Annie I react to a lot of medication so it is definitely trial and error. Hope you’re better soon Barbs x
