A member asked:
Which antibiotic is safer for the ears (not ototoxic) augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) (amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium) or cephalexin. please advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither one: None of the 3 components(Amoxicillin, Clavulanate, Cephalexin) of these antibiotics are ototoxic. Also, the potassium in the Clavulanate potassium is not enough to even worry about. It is only there to marry up with Clavulinic acid and make a neutral salt.
