Special populations
Renal impairment
As flucloxacillin is excreted to a large extent by the kidney, the
dose or dose interval may need
modification in patients with renal failure, as the half life in
patients with renal failure is increased.
However dosage recommendations for various plasma creatinine levels
for patients with impaired
renal function are not available. Flucloxacillin is not significantly
removed by haemodialysis.

Hepatic impairment
Adjustment of dosage may not be necessary as flucloxacillin is not
metabolised in the liver to any
appreciable extent. However, during prolonged treatment it is
advisable to check periodically for
hepatic dysfunction.
