Teva Cloxacillin

The recommended adult dose of oral (taken by mouth) cloxacillin ranges from 250 mg to 500 mg 4 times daily taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). The children's and infant's dose depends on the age and weight of the child.

The injectable form of cloxacillin is used in the hospital. The dose depends on the weight and the type of infection. The dose of cloxacillin is injected into the vein or muscle every 6 hours.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Use an oral syringe to measure each dose of the liquid, as it gives a more accurate measurement than household teaspoons.
