Does penicillin damage kidneys ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Penicillin antibiotics are not intrinsically nephrotoxic. Rare patients develop allergic interstitial nephritis from penicillins. This is characterized by fever, eosinophilia, eosinophiluria, progressive renal insufficiency and sometimes skin rash.
