Flucloxacillin 500mg is a penicillin-based, narrow-spectrum antibiotic frequently used within clinical and aesthetic settings to treat bacterial infections caused by penicillinase-producing staphylococci. In aesthetic practice, clinicians may prescribe Flucloxacillin when managing certain post-procedural bacterial complications, always following a full medical assessment.
This product is a prescription only medicine intended for use by qualified prescribers as part of safe, responsible post-treatment care.

Beta-lactamase–resistant formulation
Flucloxacillin is widely recognised in medical aesthetics for its targeted effectiveness against bacteria commonly implicated in post-injection, post-filler, and post-procedure skin infections.
Aesthetics practitioners appreciate its:
Dependability in managing superficial skin infections
Appropriateness for infections linked with staphylococcal contamination
Long-standing use in dermatology and wound-related care
This makes it a practical choice for clinicians who require a robust, focused antibiotic option as part of their complication-management protocol.
Qualified prescribers may use Flucloxacillin 500mg when treating bacterial complications associated with:
Post-injection infection
Post-filler skin infection or erythema with suspected bacterial involvement
Cellulitis at the treatment site
Infected wounds following minor aesthetic procedures
Abscesses or pustules caused by susceptible bacteria
Use must always follow a clinical diagnosis and prescribing assessment.
Flucloxacillin is an isoxazolyl penicillin designed to resist breakdown by beta-lactamase enzymes. It works by:
1. Inhibiting Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis
It prevents bacteria from forming stable cell walls, leading to their destruction.
2. Remaining Effective Against Resistant Bacteria
Its beta-lactamase resistance helps it remain active against penicillinase-producing staphylococci—commonly found in skin-based infections.
This makes Flucloxacillin especially suitable for infections related to compromised skin integrity, including those occasionally seen in aesthetic medicine.
