title: Liver damage with the amoxicillin-clavulanate combination.
abstract: Liver damage associated with the amoxicillin-clavulanate combination is more frequent in patients over the age of 50 and during long-term treatment. It is mainly due to the clavulanic acid component of the drug. It is better to reserve this combination for infections due to bacteria that are resistant to amoxicillin.
