Orbenin Information:
Orbenin (generic name Cloxacillin) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms such as streptococci and penicillinase-producing staphylococci. It is a penicillin antibiotic that acts by breaking down the cell wall of bacteria during their active multiplication stage. Orbenin is indicated to treat skin and soft tissue infections and respiratory tract infections where the result from sensitivity tests or local epidemiological data supports its use. Orbenin should be used exactly as prescribed to prevent the development and spread of antibiotic resistance.

Orbenin Side Effects:
Orbenin is generally a well-tolerated medication. However, like other medications, it may cause some side effects in some patients. The mild effect of Orbenin may include gastrointestinal disturbances, such as nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, flatulence, loose stools, fever, and rashes. Blood reactions and elevated liver enzymes have been reported occasionally following Orbenin use. Rarely, anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions (characterized by rash, urticaria, breathing difficulties, sneezing, and shock) have also been recorded in a few patients. If you experience any serious side effects such as wheezing, hives, or yellowing of the eyes while taking Orbenin, report to your doctor as quickly as possible.
Orbenin Directions:
Orbenin is available as capsules containing either 250mg or 500mg of cloxacillin sodium. The doctor will determine the appropriate dose of Orbenin for you. Generally, for mild to moderate infections, adults take 250 mg to 500 mg of Orbenin every 6 hours at about 1 to 2 hours before meals (i.e. on an empty stomach) for a minimum of 5 days. Presence of food may affect the absorption and activity of Orbenin. Children are to be given an equivalent dose of 50mg/kg/day of their body weight split into 4 doses given at 6-hour intervals each day. Orbenin may be prescribed in combination with other antibiotics to aid its antibacterial activity. It is important to complete the dosage regimen of Orbenin as prescribed to aid adequate infection clearance and prevent relapse or drug resistance.
Orbenin Precautions:
Do not use Orbenin if you are allergic to Cloxacillin or had reacted to any penicillin antibiotic in the past. Tell your doctor about any other prescription and over-the-counter medications or supplements you might be taking currently or plan to take. Your doctor may schedule you for periodic monitoring and review when you are prescribed Orbenin if you had lost much weight recently, have ongoing liver or kidney diseases, or would be taking Orbenin for a long time. Also, discuss any concern you may have with the doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding when you are prescribed Orbenin. Although Orbenin is used safely by children, there is not enough data on the safety of its use in premature and newborn infants.
The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
