Does Trimethoprim Cause Tinnitus And Headaches?

Hi there I have taken Trimethoprim many times previously in short courses of 3 days with no effects whatsoever, I have had to have a couple of 7 day course recently which have just been completed and now I have to start a low dose course for up to a year . 100mgs per day. I have started with tinnitus , I have frequent tension like headaches. When I have the lower dose might these symptoms relieve. Many thanks

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no use or concept of a low dose antibiotic decreasing its side effects. It may reduce the severity but the antibiotic may not work.

Wishing you best of health.

Thanks.
