Is it safe to give Flucloxacillin with milk?
Patient: Hi I d be very grateful if you d answer my question, please. My daughter was prescribed Flucloxacillin (& Amoxicillin) yesterday evening (for an infected post-surgery scar; the surgery was just over a year ago & this keeps happening so she s booked to her surgeon re: ? stitch left later this month) but I m finding it difficult to give all doses of the Flucox as directed. My question is: may I give Fluclox to my 16month old followed by (150ml ish) cows milk? She always has milk at 7am then goes back to sleep until nearer 9am (lucky me, I know!) when she then has breakfast. I can do the other 3 doses on empty stomach more easily. Many thanks Caroline Doctor: Hi Caroline,Welcome to Hcm,Yes its safe to give it with milk. There is no known interaction with the same. The intention is to make sure child gets the medicine. You are doing a great job. Take care.
