Precautions and warnings
High doses can be dangerous for people with poor kidney function (risk of nerve problems) or heart failure. Direct contact with the skin may cause irritation. Keep track of blood potassium levels, kidney function, and blood cell counts. This drug is used to treat spirochete infections like syphilis. Long-term use can cause new infections with bacteria that resist penicillin. Do not give this medicine by injection into the spinal canal. Be extra careful in elderly patients or those with porphyria.

- cholestatic jaundice; agranulocytosis. Potentially Fatal: Anaphylaxis.
Drug Interactions
Probenecid can increase the amount of dicloxacillin in the blood. Drugs that stop bacteria from growing, like chloramphenicol and tetracyclines, may make dicloxacillin less effective at killing bacteria. Dicloxacillin may also lower the effect of blood thinners such as dicumarol and warfarin. Using dicloxacillin with methotrexate can raise the risk of methotrexate side effects. Finally, dicloxacillin may make live vaccines, like the typhoid vaccine, less effective.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to penicillins.
Mode of actions
Dicloxacillin works similarly to benzylpenicillin and can kill both types of staphylococci: those that make penicillinase and those that don’t. It can also fight some streptococci, like S. pneumoniae and S. pyogenes, but it is not as strong against them as benzylpenicillin. However, it is still helpful if these streptococci are present along with staphylococci that resist penicillin. Dicloxacillin does not work against E. faecalis.
Dosage & Administration
Adult: PO 125-250 mg 6 hrly, may double dose in severe infections.
Child: 12.5-25 mg/kg/day in 4 divided doses.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Although animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect even sometimes unable to demonstrate the risk on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, but during pregnancy, this medicine can be used just when definitely required.
