I've been prescribed Phenoxymethylpenicillin, also known as Penicillin V or VK, but I can't for the life of me get my head around what type of antibiotic this is and whether it's ototoxic.
I read that Aminoglycoside antibiotics are ototoxic, and that Gentamicin, Streptomycin, Tobramycin are ototoxic - no idea whether those are Aminoglycide antibiotics, but none of these names even resemble "Phenoxymethylpenicillin" and reading its Wikipedia it says nowhere what type of antibiotic it is.
Can anyone with a better knowledge/understanding of this help me out? I usually manage to find what I look for by searching online but this one has me scratching my head and completely lost.
