Augmentin is more effective than Zithromax for otitis media

March 2000

Reps will be touting the results of a recent study that Augmentin is more effective than Zithromax for otitis media.

Zithromax (azithromycin) is popular because it's convenient to use and well-tolerated.

But Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) seems to be more effective for otitis media...probably because it's more active against drug-resistant Strep pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
