Is It Advisable To Take Flucloxacillin As An Alternative Of Amoxicillin?

I had two implants done on Monday evening and my amoxicillin 250mg runs out tonight. I thought I had some more and can,t find them. Can I use flucloxacillin 500mg instead until I get to dentist Monday. I am still in a lot of pain and my mouth is still aching. thanks

hi,
Flucloxacillin has got a different but superior coverage than Amoxycillin. There is no harm in using it, but it is best determined by your doctor only.
If your consultation is pending, you can take it along with some antiinflammatory drug like brufen.
hope this helps.
