  • Title: Augmentin (amoxycillin-clavulanic acid) compared with amoxycillin alone in the treatment of urinary tract infections in the elderly.
    Author: Gallacher G, Erwin L, Scott PJ, Sleigh JD.
    Journal: J Infect; 1986 May; 12(3):229-33. PubMed ID: 3522749.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-seven patients (mean age 82 years) with urinary tract infection were treated with either Augmentin or amoxycillin in a double-blind randomised trial. Of the 52 patients who completed 5 days treatment, 21/24 (87.5%) responded to Augmentin but only 12/28 (43%) responded to amoxycillin. Five of eight patients who had failed to respond to amoxycillin responded to Augmentin.
