Anyone please help. What's the next best safest antibiotic if Augmentin didn't work? They gave me cipro, but that's crazy bad AB...

Is there a list of safest Antibiotics.I took augmentin but ear infection didnt clear.I dont trust cipro.Whats my next best safe bet.

Bill, I am confused. I was diagnosed prostate issue and dr prescribed Augmentin (brand-name). I check the drug list and it said the generic of it is Amoxicillin. Could you clarify or explain are these two you mentioned the same drug or not? Thanks

...are not likely from bacterial infection. She said it is most likely benign enlarged lymph node for the one on my neck. She prescribed me Augmentin which scares me because my tinnitus started about 5 days after starting Augmentin in January but I also had the inner ear fluid back then. Best...

So sorry you are going through this. Mine has gotten louder lately, too, and I'm trying to figure out why. There are so many things it could be, like taking calcium citrate, estradiol, progesterone. Not sure if any of those could do it, but am taking NAC for something else. What is it...

The weird thing is that Augmentin is predominantly Amoxicillin, about 87%. I don’t know. FML.

@Aira019 - I found the following in the online article: -- Is Augmentin Ototoxic? ........................................................................ The reason Augmentin is not listed in my drug book (3rd edition) is that it is not known to be ototoxic. It is actually one of the very few...

Hi RacerFish, I also got Tinnitus from Augmentin. My case is very particular because after my tinnitus, I was diagnosed with a Cholesteatoma. Anyway, my question is, has your tinnitus improved since you had Augmentin? or stayed pretty much the same? Mine is also reactive, I have hearing loss...

I was on and off antibiotics for a while for prostatitis. Augmentin, which includes Amoxicillin doubled the volume of my tinnitus permanently. Antibiotics that didn’t increase my tinnitus were cefdinir, cefaclor, and bactrim.

It's probably augmentin, or whatever else they call it, which isn't ototoxic.

It absolutely can be. My first negative experience with ototoxic meds was Augmentin of which Amoxicillin is a component. It tripled the volume of my tinnitus 3 years ago and it's never gone down since then.

Basically keto diet eh? I have several tones in my ear after Augmentin and Cephalexin two weeks ago. I might try this.

...mauritius. I am suffering from tinnitus since one and a half month and hyperacusis since two weeks. I have got tinnitus after i have taken augmentin for one week for otitis media disease. Is there anyone from mauritius who suffers same thing as me? Is there anyone who got tinnitus after...

@DebInAustralia It started with Cipro and then was further spiked by Augmentin.

...I took Clavulin, I searched Tinnitus Talk, and didn't find any horror stories about it. Then I discovered that Clavulin is another name for Augmentin, and that this forum is full of horror stories. I switched to Amoxicillin, and my infection ended up going away. I took six 500 mg pills of...

I took it only for one day. It ended up being just a temporary spike.

Interesting! Could you please provide a link to a source?

...hasn’t been completely eradicating the infection and I’m still having pain into the 8th day. So may go back tomorrow to see what can be done or should be done. I don’t think it’s going to heal up in two days. But it would be great if it did. I may have to go on something else besides the...

Augmentin is co-amoxiclav. In other words amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid. I’ve had it twice since my tinnitus became a problem and the first time was a strong dose while I had sepsis (amongst flucloxicillin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, and clindamycin). None of them had an effect on my tinnitus.

I keep reading about people who are taking Augmentin, Amoxicillin and so forth. Or speaking of non-ototoxic pills. And then speaking of spikes. So I'm a little confused here. Could someone please clarify: 1. I'm assuming folks still taking these either because they still they have an infection...

...who can perform and assessment on me and prescribe me the appropriate and safest medications. I didn’t end up taking the full course of Augmentin, I took half the course (10 pills over 5 days) when I decided I probably shouldn’t continue. I also was on Metoprolol at the time that I posted...

Hi sorry to resurrect this thread but did it ever get better shan? I was given augmentin and developed ringing. I wanted to see if you has any improvement. Thanks so much.

Yeah, happens plenty! Don't stress, if you do decide to take an antibiotic go for something like amoxcillian or augmentin duo, both are safe.

...certainly possible that the fullness is due to a Eustachian tube problem. You might want to return to your ENT if the fullness persists. Augmentin does not cause auditory damage. Moreover, I have never seen it on any of the lists of drugs that are associated with tinnitus in any way. Well...

I have had tinnitus for about 2 months and the last week has been unbearable. It feels like electric pulses coursing through the base of my skull. It's not just loud, it's a whole other physical sensation, like a nerve is being struck. On top of that it's a high pitched cricket sound. Now my...

@AlbertJ When it started I wasn't on any medication. A recent ENT said I had major sinus infection and inflammation so I've taken augmentin. I think it may be causing a spike I'm having recently. But I'm not sure.

Are they thinking active ear infection (Augmentin) because if there is associated swelling maybe that's what they were thinking with Prednisone. What are they trying to treat exactly?

The antibiotics are for the pneumonia. For aspiration pneumonia the best treatments are Levaquin, Augmentin and Doxycycline.

A short course of antibiotics shouldn't cause you much of a problem. It's the intravenous antibiotics that could spike tinnitus. Love, Glynis

Augmentin gave me palatal myoclonus within an hour of taking it. I am mortified. My GP told me today that "it's not a big problem", and denied any connection to the drug. How is your tinnitus now?

i was on augmentin and then amoxil for a strep pneumonia. my ears did not like it! i switched to keflex and was fine. my spike lasted about a week then settled back down

Hello Sam it wasnt the antis that made the T worse by the way,yes absoloutely ear infections are dangerous id take non ototoxic ones again like augmentin,,good Luck

FWIW, my spikes were caused by Cipro and Augmentin (which contains amoxicillin which was supposedly oto-friendly). Almost a year later, my spike is still with me with no reduction in volume.

...came all the sudden one night. I had a sinus infection. I started penicillin 12 days ago but that didn't work that well then I switched to augmentin which did help a lot, but after 6 days of augmentin there was still a little ringing in my right ear. I woke up this morning to a new sound in...

I'd be surprised if augmentin (amoxicillin) was the cause for your hearing troubles. I don't think it's considered particularly ototoxic. What you are disclosing about your noise exposure seems like a more likely lead to me. At any rate, you should probably get your hearing checked at some point.

Either stress induced (trauma in August) or taking Augmentin at the same time. I feel like it's here to stay at this point...one can only hope for a miracle though.

No, it was not Augmentin. It was Amoxicillin, 500 MG - twice daily. I only took 4 doses and it spiked my tinnitus so badly...I am afraid to ever take anything like that again.

Am curious as to what antibiotics you took. Some are known to be ototoxic and can lead to both tinnitus and hearing loss. My tinnitus increase was caused by two antibiotics - Cipro and Augmentin.

My tinnitus is off charts. I took six pills of Augmentin. Is the spike a coincidence? I have no clue. This ear just sucks. But all of you know that or else you would not be on this site. FML.

Hi, I took a lot of Amox this year (4 courses !), I don't think it changed my T (I had spikes but there were many possible reasons). You sure it was not Augmentin ? (it has Amox + something else)

@KWC The Augmentin probably does not have questionable input with the two nerves that serve both the eardrum and the jaw or your hearing nerve. These nerves although would be upset with all that you have or had going on. These tiny nerves also connect to the part of the brain that associates...

I got tinnitus from Amoxicillin, which is similar to Augmentin. Same experience you described with the ear fluttering. I started to habituate to it after a couple of months but then used a small amount of marijuana that triggered it again so I'm back at square one (I never had tinnitus from...

thats cool, my doc gave me predisolone too for my swollen sinuses. today is day 3 for me. i told him my ringing started when i took augmentin and keflex for my strep throat. but he said those antibiotics do not have those side effects. im so confused @_@

hi Lynn, I wish you quick recovery. the most ototoxic medications are Gentamycin and Neomycin. other -mycin drugs should be looked up. |A really good antibiotic is Augmentin. any spikes from pain meds are temporary. Get well soon, Your Canadian friend

Yes, there is. You can search for "Ototoxic Brochure" in Google, or if I'm correct, Dr. Nagler shared a list as well. Generally speaking, aminoglycosides are considered to be the more connected to tinnitus. Amoxicillin which is in Augmentin is considered to be pretty safe.

Augmentin which contains Amoxicillin sent my tinnitus through the roof. Also, avoid aminoglycoside antibiotics which are known to be ototoxic. @Ed209 is correct. They should have done a culture that shows which antibiotics will be effective against the particular bacteria causing infection.

I got a spike after taking Augmentin. I took amoxicillin on a number of occasions, and never had any spikes.

...about what it could cause if it doesn't heal. I was expecting it to heal with the inflammation, but after using my prescribed antibiotics (Augmentin, 2 pills a day for a week - didn't seem to affect my tinnitus at all, it got worse before I started using them) and my throat almost healed, the...

Considering the amount of prescriptions written everyday all over the world for pill form Augmentin, where's the concrete proven reports of ototoxcity? We don't have enough info about these individuals who have claimed Augmentin causing hearing loss. Every person that has claimed hearing loss...

I had a severe spike in my T after taking Augmentin (Amoxicillin plus Clavulanic acid). My T was pretty steady for nearly a decade and then bam, it spiked shortly after taking this. That was over a year ago, and the spike has never gone away though I have habituated to it.

...apart from my tinnitus increasing in my right ear there seems to be a change in hearing in both ears. I hope it's not otoxicity from the Augmentin. If it is, hopefully it will lessen with time. I'm just trying to dose up on the antioxidants to try and fight the accumulation of the drug in...

Initially that's what I thought but there are more recent accounts of Augmentin having the potential to be quite ototoxic. Anyway, yes I will have to get my hearing checked at some point. I do have high frequency loss in my right ear, I think it may have got worse over the years. I will...

...tinnitus after finally habituating to my current tinnitus and having some success with Turmeric. I’m scared of the antibiotics, the anesthesia and the meds they will have me on as I believe my tinnitus may have been caused by Augmentin or The Z-Pack. Anyone have success with this surgery?

...the night after a concert, of which there have been many), so I’m not similar to you there. But with having an ear infection, I was given Augmentin in December for ringing in my right ear only and was told “it should fade”. Come March, it had not entirely, and then the left started to ring...

...on other classes of antibiotics, though. Cisplatin is retained indefinitely but I have yet to see that reported with any antibiotics. Augmentin is supposed to have less risk than other antibiotics but I never say never when it comes to ototoxicity because some thing are too rare to be...

I've taken Augmentin. It's the 3rd time I've taken it over the years. First time I took it few years ago I immediately got a clicking tinnitus in my ear so I stopped and switched antibiotics. The second time which was about 7 months ago I didn't get that reaction so I carried on. This...

@linearb Can it be this the cause of her ringing and not the Clonazepam?? How are you doing on it now? Once

...that point. Granted that I have allergies and am having surgery tomorrow. So I don’t know what it is at this point. I took 6 pills of augmentin a month ago for an infection and it's listed as safe. I have taken more potent antibiotics with no effect. I just don’t understand what’s going on.

@GregCA That is reassuring but Im mostly concerned with a T spike. There are a lot of people on here that report major spikes after augmentin. Im just really scared of which direction to go. So in other words im frozen in a fear state as its just 2 weeks in... thank you for the info i will...
