Have Tinnitus, Given Trimethoprim For Uti. Medicine Side Effect On Tinnitus?
Hi have moderately severe tinnitus in both ears, present for over 2 decades. I have been prescribed a 3 day course of Trimethoprim for a UTI, and I am concerned of any side effects with regards to my hearing. I have taken amoxicillin and metronidazole with no side effects, but if I take diclofenac or ibuprofen I do have temporary increase in my tinnitus.
