Article Synopsis
- Flucloxacillin can cause serious low potassium levels (hypokalaemia) that may worsen even with potassium supplements.
- After starting high doses of flucloxacillin for a patient with an infected knee replacement, hypokalaemia was observed, and the patient did not respond well to potassium treatment.
- The solution involved switching antibiotics and increasing potassium, which improved the patient's condition, highlighting the need to monitor potassium levels when prescribing flucloxacillin.
