Does This Medication Cause Drowsiness?

I stopped taking flucloxicillan 2 weeks ago. While taking them I was always tired. This has continued. I'm basically sleeping all day 1 day of the week & sleeping for 10 hours every night. I don't think this is normal.

I was taking 1000mg 4 times daily over 7 days

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this excessive sleepiness while on this medication. Flucloxicillan is not known to cause excessive sleepiness. Should this continue, I will recommend that you get evaluated for this excessive sleepiness. Are there any other products you take beside this drug?

I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be.
