Abstract
Dynapen (sodium dicloxacillin monohydrate) is a new antibacterial agent of the isoxazolyl penicillin series. It is the monohydrate sodium salt of 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl).5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl penicillin. The drng resists destruction by the enzyme penicillinase ( beta-lactamase). It has been demonstrated to be especially efficacious in the treatment of penicillinase-producing staphylococcal infections and effective in the treatment of other commonly encountered gram-positive caecal infections.
