Amoxicillin Otoxicity

Updated

My dermatologist currently has me taking 500mg capsules of Amoxicillin twice daily as part of my acne treatment. I have been on it for about a year. We've tried other medications before this but i've always had problems with side effects. I've read that some antibiotics and medications can be harmful to the ears (otoxic). Can long-term Amoxicillin use be otoxic or harmful to my ears in any way.

I don't think it can but, I'm not sure talk to your doctor about it.
don't worry about it though!

There can be many problems caused from taking an antibiotic for such a long period of time, including developing antibiotic resistant illnesses.
