Is It Normal To Have Heart Burn After Taking Flucloxacillin?
A pharmacist prescribed flucloxacillin tablets for me to deal with an infection on my skin. I'm to take one tablet 30 mins before meals 4 times daily for 7 days. After taken the first tablet I experienced heartburn which reduced but didn't go completely when I ate. Is this normal? If not, what do you recommend I do?
