Edits by Group 5
Focused on adding references to each section, removing information that could not be verified or not of relevance to the general public, and adding hyperlinks for scientific terminology. We also added the section on "Interactions", including the corresponding references for those. We did not fully edit the mechanism of action and medicinal chemistry sections yet.

- "It should be used with caution in the elderly, particularly with intravenous administration, due to a risk of thrombophlebitis." and Pregnancy category may not be appropriate under Contraindications section since they do not mean dicloxacillin is absolutely not used in those scenarios.
