Augmentin (Amoxicillin + Clavulanic Acid) for 5 days or Amoxicillin for 15 days for UTI? I hate this russian roulette with antibiotics

I have a choice of a single oral dose of either Augmentin or Keflex for an upcoming procedure. I don’t want my tinnitus to get any worse. Does anyone know which is safer?

...each time I take it, I develop tendonitis which progressively gets worse; the side effect is tendon rupture. This time I switched to Augmentin and have had a tinnitus spike for the past 5 days since I have been on it. I read all the information and everything is saying it’s not ototoxic but...

...very often these days, off to even more interesting and disturbing health issues it seems like deafness and heart problems. Anyway, I took Augmentin 825-125 mg or a sinus infection over the weekend. I only took 3 pills. 1 on Friday night and 2 on Saturday. I woke up Sunday morning and my...

...along the way. However, I recently hit a breaking point. I developed sinusitis and Chlamydiae pneumoniae, for which I was first prescribed Augmentin (which had no effect on my tinnitus) and then Doxycycline. It's been five days, and now my tinnitus has worsened significantly, leaving me...

...which led her to believe this is the cause of my tinnitus (I have no hearing loss or damage, checked by an audiologist). She prescribed Augmentin and Prednisone, of which I felt WONDERFUL for 2 or so days (before I started tapering down). It was a few days into this regimen that I felt a...

...a urine test done a couple weeks ago. My urine results came back and were indicative of a UTI, so I met with my doctor and he prescribed me Augmentin. I didn’t even think about the fact that antibiotics are what caused the tinnitus in the first place, because I had been able to mostly heal...

...to a private ent who watched the mri again (1.5 month later) and saw a sinus infection that everyone else had miss. He perscribe me with augmentin 875 mg twice a day for 10 days. Im about half way into the treatment and I feel like my tinnitus is spiking!! I also have bad stomach in the...

...now. I developed tinnitus shortly after receiving a TD Vaccine (Tetanus-Diphtheria Booster) after I cut my finger. That same week I took Augmentin for a supposed tonsil infection, but I think it was just flared up from the vaccine. I had horrible inflammation symptoms for a over a week that...

...my tinnitus hit a 10 out of 10 and caused a spike from hell. I have also heard firsthand from people who took “safe” antibiotics like Augmentin or Amoxiclav, only to experience a permanent spike in their tinnitus. The truth is, since they do not really know what causes tinnitus and because...

Been battling a resistant bacterial strep infection for 2 1/2 months. Been nauseous 24/7. I was given Augmentin which didn't help at all but I noticed whooshing and ringing sounds 3-5 days into the treatment. The ENT told me that the medicine doesn't have that side effect. And after I stopped...

Lymphadenitis is what the ER says. Prescribed Augmentin spiked my tinnitus. Hyperacusis been severe for a week. Amoxicillin or Augmentin?

...a horrible sinus infection which we already tried to treat with nasal spray and rinses with no success. After a CT scan ENT doctor gave me Augmentin Retard 1000 mg. 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in the evening. And prednisone 5 mg once a day. After reading the stories here about this...

Hi all, I was prescribed Amocla 625 mg, which I guess is more commonly known by the brand name Augmentin. I have been avoiding antibiotics like a plague. However, it has to come that I had been having persistent fever for 4 days with other upper respiratory symptoms. I knew I was checkmate...

Been poorly but muddling through in this new job. Have a pretty bad infection and been prescribed Augmentin and Metronidazole. Are these OK?

Augmentin doesn’t have that side effect.

Taking Augmentin right now for a UTI. Augmentin has definitely made my tinnitus worse. I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep these past few days (I’ve been on it for 5 days now) and my anxiety is continuing to get worse. I’m just really hoping that it goes away once I’ve finished the course, in 5 days.

It’s the COVID-19 that caused it, not the Augmentin.

Keflex or Augmentin.

You are so young, and it is sad you are dealing with this. Augmentin doesn’t normally cause tinnitus. Your case is rare. I took Augmentin multiple times over the years and never had any issues. We give it to patients all the time. If Augmentin caused your tinnitus to get worse, you should...

Keflex is mentioned on American Tinnitus Association's Ototoxic Drugs list. Augmentin is not. I would go with Augmentin.

I am sorry that that had happened to you. One time I took Augmentin, and it gave me a huge spike. It is my understanding that Augmentin is a mixture of Amoxicillin and something else that's ototoxic.

Check out the posts below https://www.tinnitustalk.com/search/3479372/?q=augmentin&o=relevance You might want to never take Augmentin again.

...get a sinus infection each year (lots of allergies) and when the symptoms came on in January I went to the local urgent care and was given Augmentin which I have done basically each year for the past several years. After about a week my right ear felt complete fullness and clogged up and...

I've had sinusitis for 5 weeks, so my doctor gave me Prednisone which I finish tomorrow after just 7 days. He gave me Augmentin "just in case" the Prednisone doesn't help. So far, I still have sinusitis, and am a bit worried to take the Augmentin.

Really sorry to hear that. Tinnitus makes standard medication seem like a game of Russian roulette. I’m on a cocktail of antibiotics. Luckily I’ve not had a spike (yet). I’ll finish the Augmentin tomorrow & Metronidazole in 9 days.

Does anyone know an antibiotic besides augmentin that would help middle ear infection? I’ve been on augmentin 7/10 days. Still infected

Oh wow ... it increased after the augmentin but I needed it for my ears ...

I took Augmentin during my COVID-19 infection and I also got tinnitus. The thought that I caused it by that is putting my stress through the roof :(

I got tinnitus from taking Augmentin for a UTI for three weeks. My tinnitus is so loud. I'm really afraid that I damaged my hair cells. I took NAC but the ringing is still loud, for five days now :( I'm devastated and Augmentin didn't even work :(

Did you ever heal? I got tinnitus from Augmentin.

Hey. I took Augmentin and it gave me tinnitus. I took it for 21 days. Did your tinnitus go away after you stopped taking it?

It is most likely Augmentin. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/search/3011326/?q=augmentin&o=relevance Augmentin = amoxicillin (the least ototoxic antibiotic) + clavulinic acid. It appears that clavulinic acid is ototoxic. You might consider asking your doctor for a prescription for amoxicillin.

this link says Augmentin contains Amoxicillin which may be ototoxic: http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/is-augmentin-ototoxic/

I also thought that Augmentin=Amoxicillin. When I took Augmentin, I got a spike. This is when I searched this forum and the net and eventually I figured out that Augmentin = Amoxicillin + potassium clavulanate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoxicillin/clavulanic_acid If you search this...

Do you feel better now? I also took Augmentin and it caused my tinnitus. I stopped taking it.

Bill/ED209, So nice of you to take effort and time to clarify. I understand and agree your description and suggestion of both Augmentin and Amoxicillin, which was also explained by ED209. Hats off to you great guys giving this forum a clear and useful info that everybody benefitted. :thankyousign:

There is a ton of conflicting info out there however Amoxicillin is supposed to be one of the safest antibiotics out there for ear health. Here is a list of meds from the ATA that can be considered ototoxic...

Augmentin is safer, that's for sure.

How do we gauge what antibiotics are most to least ototoxic? Do you have a list? I want to have a list in case I need them in future.

Hey luis i saw ur posting did ur tinnitus Improve i also got it from augmentin

Thanks for the feedback on Augmentin. I will keep that in my back pocket. Lol I had to cut my hair off. Wife's orders. She didn't like my long hair.

Well I can vouch for amoxcilin/augmentin duo - they aren't mentioned as being ototoxic afaik and I was on augmentin duo recently for an infection, was all good!

Cipro and Augmentin (which contains amoxicillin). Cirpo doubled the volume of my T and Augmentin doubled the volume on top of that.

Yes I still have tinnitus. I am not completely sure if the Augmentin caused it or ear infection or TMJ.

I was given Augmentin. The ringing started before I was given the antibiotic. I think what further screwed me is as soon as I cleared the ear infection, within 5-7 days I caught a bad cold. That is when one ring turned into more, and then just downhill from there :( I could honestly deal with...

Have you checked this out? https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/augmentin/ototoxicity/

Yes, I wish I had never taken Prednisolone. I did my research, but some people said it helped them, which is why I decided to take it. If I had taken oral tablets instead, I don’t think it would have caused this many issues. The intravenous version completely messed me up. What should I do...

If you search Tinnitus Talk, you will see many posts about negative experiences with Augmentin, and few posts about negative experiences with Amoxicillin (and many positive experiences with it). The reason I recommended Amoxicillin is because it is so similar to Augmentin, and yet it is not as...

If you hadn’t noticed any changes yet, hopefully everything will be fine! And yes, I am so hesitant to take any new oral medication because of the risk of the tinnitus getting worse, let alone being worried about loud noise exposure anytime I go anywhere. It’s so hard to live like this.

I stopped taking Augmentin because it gave me tinnitus.

Do you still have tinnitus? I also got my tinnitus from Augmentin. I stopped taking it two days ago but the tinnitus is still going on.

What dosage was the 10-day course of Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate)?

Hey racerfish augmentin gave me tinnitus i stopped two days ago i took it for 21 days it hasnt gone down yet im realy worried how are u doing now?
