How
To Use - Nafcillin Sodium must be used as directed by your doctor.

- Some injectible penicillins contain sodium; this could affect you if you are on a salt-restricted diet or if you have a condition which could be worsened with an increase in salt intake (e.g., congestive heart failure).
- If this pertains to you, check with your pharmacist to see if your brand contains sodium.
- If so, contact your doctor for more information.
- Use of Nafcillin Sodium for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a secondary infection (e.g., oral, bladder or vaginal yeast infection).
