Anyone reading this list of ototoxic drugs is strongly advised NOT to discontinue taking any prescribed medication without first contacting the prescribing physician. Just because a drug is listed does not mean that you will automatically get tinnitus, or exacerbate exisiting tinnitus, if you take it. A few will, but many will not. Whether or not you eperience tinnitus after taking one of the listed drugs or herbals, or after being exposed to one of the listed chemicals, depends on many factors ‐ such as your own body chemistry, your sensitivity to drugs, the dose you take, or the length of time you take the drug. It is important to note that there may be drugs NOT listed here that could still cause tinnitus. Although this list is one of the most complete listings of drugs associated with tinnitus, no list of this kind can ever be totally complete – therefore use it as a guide and resource, but do not take it as the final word. The drug brand name is italicized and is followed by the generic drug name in bold. Please note that not every brand name is included as some drugs have numerous brand names. Each drug, herb, and chemical is referenced, with specific details found on page 27. Thank you to Neil Bauman, Ph.D., for his work compiling this list for the American Tinnitus Association.

  • A Randomised, Non-Inferiority Study of Chloroprocaine 2% and Ropivacaine
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A randomised, non‑inferiority study of chloroprocaine 2% and ropivacaine 0.75% in ultrasound‑guided axillary block Irene Sulyok1, Claudio Camponovo2, Oliver Zotti1, Werner Haslik3, Markus Köstenberger4, Rudolf Likar4, Chiara Leuratti5, Elisabetta Donati6 & Oliver Kimberger1,7* Chloroprocaine is a short‑acting local anaesthetic with a rapid onset of action and an anaesthesia duration up to 60 min. In this pivotal study success rates, onset and remission of motor and sensory block and safety of chloroprocaine 2% was compared to ropivacaine 0.75% for short‑duration distal upper limb surgery with successful block rates as primary outcome. The study was designed as a prospective, randomised, multi‑centre, active‑controlled, double‑blind, parallel‑group, non‑inferiority study, performed in 4 European hospitals with 211 patients scheduled for short duration distal upper limb surgery under axillary plexus block anaesthesia. Patients received either ultrasound guided axillary block with 20 ml chloroprocaine 2%, or with 20 ml ropivacaine 0.75%. Successful block was defned as block without any supplementation in the frst 45 min calculated from the time of readiness for surgery. 90.8% patients achieved a successful block with chloroprocaine 2% and 92.9% patients with Ropivacaine 0.75%, thus non‑inferiority was demonstrated (10% non inferiority margin; 95% CI − 0.097, 0.039; p = 0.02). Time to onset of block was not signifcantly diferent between the groups. Median time to motor and sensory block regression was signifcantly shorter as was time to home discharge (164 [155–170] min for chloroprocaine versus 380 [209–450] for the ropivacaine group, p < 0.001).

This study compared the efficacy of two anesthetic solutions: 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine and 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in patients with different ARTICLES ORIGINAL pulp diagnoses requiring endodontic treatment. Method: an interventional, randomized clinical trial. The sample included 36 patients who were treated at the postgraduate endodontics service at the Universidad de Cartagena in the year 2016. Descriptive statistics and the Chi2 test were used for data analysis, using a limit of 0.05. Results: articaine showed a greater anesthetic effect in vestibular mucosa (88.9%) and tip of tongue (55.6%), compared with lidocaine. The rates of anesthetic success in the lidocaine and articaine groups were 5.6% and 22.2% respectively, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.633). In teeth with normal pulp, the efficacy was 27.3%, and this value considerably decreased in teeth with asymptomatic and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, with percentages of 5.8% and 12.5% respectively, although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.276).

  • Studies in Laboratory Animals to Assess the Safety of Anti-Inflammatory Agents in Acute Porphyria
    Ann Rheum Dis: first published as 10.1136/ard.46.7.540 on 1 July 1987. Downloaded from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 1987; 46, 540-542 Studies in laboratory animals to assess the safety of anti-inflammatory agents in acute porphyria KENNETH E L McCOLL, GEORGE G THOMPSON, AND MICHAEL R MOORE From the University Department of Medicine, Western Infirmary, Glasgow SUMMARY The safety of various anti-inflammatory drugs in acute porphyria was assessed by examining their effect on rat hepatic haem synthesis. Azapropazone, chloroquine, and gold increased 6-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) synthase activity, indicating that they are liable to precipitate porphyric crises. Aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, ketoprofen, flurbiprofen, phenylbutazone, naproxen, prednisolone, and penicillamine did not increase ALA synthase activity and should be safe in porphyria. Though these animal studies can be used as a guide to prescribing in patients with acute porphyria, some caution is still required as species may vary in their response to inducing agents. Key words: chloroquine, azapropazone, gold, b-aminolaevulinic acid synthase. copyright. The acute hepatic porphyrias which comprise acute controlling enzyme of haem biosynthesis 6- intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) synthase in rat hepatic and variegate porphyria are examples of pharma- tissue.

However, its use is limited due to side effects. Acemetacin is a prodrug of indomethacin that exhibits better gastric tolerability in preclinical and clinical tri- als. The aim of this study was to examine if the systemic administration of acemetacin involved the sequential participation of nitric oxide (NO) or K+ channel pathways to confer its antinociceptive effect, as compared to indomethacin. The antinociceptive effect of both drugs was studied with the formalin test. Equimolar doses of acemetacin or indomethacin were administered orally. The intraplantar administra- tion of either L-NAME, glibenclamide, apamin or charybdotoxin plus indomethacin or acemetacin was studied using the formalin test and the anti-inflammatory and antihyperalgesic effects were measured. The antinociceptive effect of acemetacin or indomethacin was not sig- nificantly different when pretreatment with L-NAME, glibenclamide, apamin or charybdotoxin was done. The antihyperalgesic and anti- inflammatory effects were also similar for both indomethacin and acemetacin.

  • Binding of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs to DPPC: Structure and Thermodynamic Aspects

In Final Form: January 8, 2008 The effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the phase transition and phase properties of 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) has been investigated in both 2D (monolayers at the air/water interface) and 3D (multilayers in lipid/water dispersions) model systems. The 2D membrane models have been characterized by means of pressure-area isotherms and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) measurements. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and simultaneous small- and wide-angle X-ray diffraction have been applied to lipid aqueous dispersions. All NSAIDs studied altered the main transition temperature of the gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition, with the arylacetic acid derivatives (acemetacin and indomethacin) showing the largest effects. A comparison of the results reveals distinct structural features of the membrane models after interaction with the NSAID. All drugs induced perturbations in the lipid liquid-crystalline phase, suggesting a major change in the hydration behavior of DPPC. Again, the largest effects on the structural parameters are found for the arylacetic acid derivatives. The results obtained in the different model systems give indications of the role of the membrane/NSAID interactions that might also be important for NSAID gastric injury.

  • Mechanism of Action of Nicotine in Isolated Urinary Bladder of Guinea-Pig
    Br. J. Pharmacol. (1988), 95, 465-472 Mechanism of action of nicotine in isolated urinary bladder of guinea-pig Tetsuhiro Hisayama, Michiko Shinkai, lIssei Takayanagi & Toshie Toyoda Department of Chemical Pharmacology, Toho University School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2-2-1, Miyama, Funabashi, Chiba 274, Japan 1 Nicotine produced a transient contraction of isolated strips of guinea-pig urinary bladder. The response to nicotine was antagonized by the nicotinic receptor antagonist, hexamethonium but was insensitive to tetrodotoxin. 2 The nicotine-induced contraction was potentiated by the cholinesterase inhibitor, physostig- mine, and was reduced to 50% and 70% by the muscarinic cholinoceptor antagonist, atropine and the sympathetic neurone blocking drug, guanethidine, respectively. Chemical denervation with 6- hydroxydopamine abolished the inhibitory effect of guanethidine. Simultaneous treatment with atropine and guanethidine did not abolish the response to nicotine, but the degree of inhibition was comparable to that obtained with atropine alone. 3 The nicotine-induced contraction was insensitive to bunazosin and yohimbine (al- and Cc2-adrenoceptor antagonists, respectively), and exogenously applied noradrenaline did not cause a contraction even in the presence of blockade of noradrenaline uptake mechanisms with desipramine and normetanephrine and of fi-adrenoceptors with propranolol, suggesting a non-adrenergic nature of the sympathomimetic effect of nicotine in this tissue. 4 The nicotine-induced contraction in the presence of atropine was abolished after desensitization of P2-purinoceptors with a, ,B-methylene adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a slowly degradable ATP ana- logue selective for P2-purinoceptors. By this desensitization, the response to ATP, but not to hista- mine, was also abolished. 5 A cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor flurbiprofen partially inhibited the nicotine-induced contraction.
