Frequently asked questions about dicloxacillin

Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Dicloxacillin is a prescription medication used to treat bacterial infections, specifically those caused by staphylococcus bacteria. It is available under various brand names, and generic versions are also available. It is categorized in the penicillin antibiotic drug class and functions by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria within the body.

Please be aware that you will need a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to obtain this medication.

Dicloxacillin is primarily prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by staphylococcus bacteria. These infections may include:

Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Dicloxacillin can treat skin and soft tissue infections such as cellulitis, boils, and impetigo caused by susceptible bacteria.

Respiratory Tract Infections: In some cases, dicloxacillin may be prescribed for respiratory tract infections, although your healthcare provider will determine if it's appropriate for your specific condition.

Dicloxacillin belongs to the penicillin antibiotic drug class. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall formation, which is essential for bacteria to maintain their structural integrity. By disrupting this process, dicloxacillin weakens and ultimately destroys the bacterial cells, leading to the resolution of the infection.

While using dicloxacillin, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Mild side effects may include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Mouth irritation
  • Joint inflammation

More severe effects include:

  • Rash
  • Hives
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Swelling in the facial area
  • Stomach pain
  • Unusual bleeding or bruising
  • Severe diarrhea

Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you experience any severe or unusual side effects.

Consult your provider if you have any concerns about taking dicloxacillin.

Before starting treatment with dicloxacillin, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with dicloxacillin.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

  • Allergies to penicillin or other antibiotics
  • Liver problems
  • Kidney problems
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Asthma

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using dicloxacillin to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosage of dicloxacillin may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection and your age and body weight. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and administration instructions.

Dicloxacillin is typically taken orally in capsule form. It is usually taken multiple times a day. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking dicloxacillin. It should be taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. You should remain upright for at least 30 minutes after taking this medication.

Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your regularly scheduled amount. Do not take a double dose of dicloxacillin.

Store dicloxacillin as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, dicloxacillin should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.
