Hi,
Flucloxacillin is an antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria like skin and wound infections. Its common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating and indigestion. It is not known to cause delayed menstrual period. Delayed period could be due to infection, stress, change of job or place, or hormonal disorders.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
