Dicloxacillin

The pharmacology of penicillins differs markedly from compound to compound but has been well reviewed (57). The majority of derivatives, including penicillin G and the antipseudomonal penicillins, ate unstable in gastric acid and ate not available orally. The isoxazolyl penicillins ate relatively acid stable but not consistendy well absorbed by the oral route. Nafcillin and oxacillin ate poody absorbed orally cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, and ducloxacillin ate more teUable. Penicillin V, ampicillin, and patticulady amoxicillin ate relatively well absorbed orally. Esters of ampicillin such as bacampicillin, pivampicillin, and talampicillin improve the level of oral absorption of ampicillin to that achieved by amoxicillin. Absorption can be diminished by food after oral adruinistration, however, and peak blood levels, usually achieved after 1 to 2 h, ate somewhat delayed after ingestion of food.

An immunoassay was developed to determine the penicillinase stable isoxazolyl penicillins cloxacillin and dicloxacillin in milk by Usleber et alJ The assay detected lOpgkg" of cloxacillin and 30pgkg of dicloxacillin with recoveries of 102% and 84%, respectively. The calibration curve was prepared by fortifying skimmed milk powder (lOOgL ) with standards. Fortified samples were prepared in pasteurized milk and analyzed directly after decreaming by centrifugation. This immunoassay was performed with minimal sample preparation, probably because the extensive water solubility of the penicillins prevents problems associated with more lipid-soluble analytes.

To prevent development of resistance and promote synergy, inhaled tobramycin or colistin is usually added to an oral fluoroquinolone for P. aeruginosa coverage.1,3 Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) may be treated with oral amoxiciUin-clavulanic acid, dicloxacillin, first- or second-generation cephalosporins, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, or clindamycin, depending on sensitivity. Likewise, methiciUin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) may be treated with oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, clindamycin, minocycline, or linezolid. H. influenzae often produces...

Treat acute mastitis with antistaphylococcal antibiotics such as dicloxacillin or cephalexin for 10 to 14 days in order to prevent recurrent disease and breast abscess12 (Table 44-5). Penicillin-allergic women alternatively may be treated with erythromycin.12 Occasionally, intravenous antibiotics are needed for resistant, recurrent, or chronic cases. Encourage women to continue breast-feeding through acute mastitis and to empty all leftover milk from the affected breast.12... 

O Impetigo is a skin infection that most commonly afflicts young children. It is caused by group A streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus and is characterized by the development of numerous blisters that rupture and form crusts. Dicloxacillin, cephalexin, and topical mupirocin are considered the antibiotics of choice for treatment of impetigo. 

Carbuncles and furuncles that have surrounding cellulitis and fever or are located midline on the face must be treated systemically with an antibiotic that will cover Staphylococcus, such as dicloxacillin, cephalexin, or erythromycin. Treatment should continue until acute inflammation has resolved, usually a 5-10-day course. 

I Penicillin is the treatment of choice for erysipelas. In uncomplicated cases, a 5-day course is as effective as a 10-day course.3 Other agents that are acceptable for treatment include clindamycin, erythromycin, cephalexin, and dicloxacillin.
