Indikasjoner:

The penicillinase-resistant penicillins are indicated in the treatment of infections caused by penicillinase-producing staphylococci which have demonstrated susceptibility to the drugs. Cultures and susceptibility tests should be performed initially to determine the causative organism and their sensitivity to the drug (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY – Susceptibility Testing ). The penicillinase-resistant penicillins may be used to initiate therapy in suspected cases of resistant staphylococcal infections prior to the availability of laboratory test results. The penicillinase-resistant penicillins should not be used in infections caused by organisms susceptible to penicillin G. If the susceptibility tests indicate that the infection is due to an organism other than a resistant staphylococcus, therapy should not be continued with a penicillinase-resistant penicillin. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of dicloxacillin sodium capsules and other antibacterial drugs, dic

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MICROBIOLOGY
Penicillinase-resistant penicillins exert a bactericidal action
against penicillin-susceptible
microorganisms during the state of active multiplication. All
penicillins inhibit the biosynthesis of the
bacterial cell wall.
Dicloxacillin sodium has been shown to be active against most isolates
of the following
microorganisms, both _in vitro_ and in clinical infections as
described in the INDICATIONS AND
USAGE section.
_AEROBIC GRAM-POSITIVE MICROORGANISMS:_
_Staphylococcus_ spp.
