Hello,
Peflomed (Pefloxacin) may not be suitable antibiotic for treating staph infection, as the organism may not be sensitive to it.
Generally, Dicloxacillin is the preferred antibiotic for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which is more common in present days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
