In your position, if I were worried, I would ask my pharmacist for the most up to date information.
Do not worry about this antibiotic I’ve taken it for urine infections a few times and it’s had no affect at all with my tinnitus. It’s vitally important to treat all urine infections .
Hello. This is a list of Ototoxic antibiotics. Amikacin (Amakin)
Gentamycin (Garamycin)
Kanamycin (Kantrex)
Neomycin (Found in many over the counter antibiotics ointments)
Netilmicin (Netromycin)
Streptomycin.
Tobramycin (Nebcin)
Avoid Otomize. Trimethoprim should be ok and sorts out UTI's quickly in my experience
