is that over the counter
Brief Answer:
Flucloxacillin is not over the counter drugs (OTC)
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for joining again. Sorry to say, Flucloxacillin is not over the counter drugs (OTC). If you need OTC (over the counter) medications, then you can apply topical Neosporin cream or ointment on your affected area.
Neosporin cream is an OTC ( over the counter) medication that contains bacitracin zinc, polymyxin B sulphate and neomycin sulphate. This antibiotic medication is used to treat, especially skin and soft tissue infections.
Apply topical Neosporin cream on your affected area 2-3 times daily, until totally healed. Vitamin C enriched foods or supplements along with Neosporin cream will help the scar heal faster.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
