This medication is used in treating staphylococcal infections. The drug is mainly used against infections caused by bacteria that produce beta-lactamase. Bacterial cell wall synthesis in its third and last stage is inhibited when dicloxacillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins and autolysins mediate the process of cell lysis.
