Thanks for writing on HCM.
Stomach ache, weakness, loss of appetite are common side effects of flucloxacillin.However I would suggest you to discontinue the medication if it is disturbing your routine and switch to Cephalosporins (cefixime) in consultation with your doctor.Since both are equally effective I hope this should work well.Hope this answers your query.
