A trial comparing cefaclor with co-trimoxazole in the treatment of acute otitis media

W Feldman et al. Arch Dis Child. 1982 Aug.

Abstract

A prospective random double-blind controlled trial comparing the efficacy of cefaclor with that of co-trimoxazole in the treatment of otitis media was undertaken. Two hundred and twenty-three children aged 12 years or younger were studied. Both drugs were effective, with clinical cure or improvement in more than 90% of the children. The level of compliance was high and side effects few. Both co-trimoxazole and cefaclor can be considered safe and effective drugs for the treatment of acute otitis media.
