Can Olmetec Cause Tinnitus?
Question: 2 years ago I was diagnosed with cochlea hydro ps with tinnitus in the right ear and partial hearing loss. 6 months ago I was put on olmetec 20 mg daily. I have now developed tinnitus in the left ear. Has olmetec been associated with tinnitus?
Brief Answer:
Tinnitus is not listed under common side effects of Olmetec
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Although you were put on Olmetec it may not be due to the medication. Tinnitus is not a side effect listed in the medical literature for Olmetec(Olmesartan and Hydrocholthiazide).
I think it is better to re evaluate Cochlea hydrops.
Let me know if you have other questions.
