Does Flucloxacillin Affect The Pregnancy?

I have just been prescribed these for an infection in my finger i am however late with my period by 5 days so far. I am 45 and have been using the withdrawal method with my partner. Could I be pregnant and would flucloxacillin affect a pregnancy test result or indeed if i am pregnant would it harm the baby?

Hi there,
No, Flucloxacin will not harm the pregnancy, if at all you are pregannt. At 45 years periods could get delayed, but flucloxacin will neither affect pregnancy nor the pregnancy test.
You should do the home pregnancy test to see if your are pregnant or not .
As if you are pregnant see a doctor immediately, as at 45, you will require extra care.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
