Special Report
by Neil Bauman, Ph.D.
This special report is designed to help you and your doctor quickly choose the least-ototoxic drug in a specific class of drugs. For example, which are the least ototoxic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(s) (NSAIDs), or which are the least ototoxic anti-hypertensive drugs that may help you.
There are a number of NSAID drugs used to reduce inflammation. The 7 classes of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in this report include the:
- Acetic acids
- COX-2 Inhibitors
- Fenamates
- Oxicams
- Propionic acids
- Salicylates and
- Miscellaneous NSAIDs.
In like manner, there are a number of anti-hypertensive drugs used to treat high blood pressure and related conditions. The 5 classes of anti-hypertensive drugs in this report include the:
- Alpha blockers
- ACE Inhibitors
- Angiotensin-2-Receptor blockers
- Beta blockers and
- Calcium-Channel blockers.
In addition, this report includes information on the selective serotonin reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, the HMG_COA reductase inhibitor (statin) drugs, the benzodiazepine drugs and some common classes of antibiotic drugs—a total of 21 tables in all.
All of these drugs have been reported to damage your ears (are ototoxic) in some way or another—such as causing hearing loss, tinnitus or balance problems.
However, some of these drugs are much more ototoxic than others. In order to protect your ears from the ear-damaging side effects of such drugs, obviously you want to take the least ototoxic drug that will do the job.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know instantly whether the drug your doctor is prescribing for you has a high risk of ototoxicity or a low risk. For example, if you need to take a NSAID, wouldn’t you like to know which Propionic acid has had more than 1,000 people reporting experiencing tinnitus as opposed to another drug in the same class that has only had 9 reports of tinnitus?
Or if you needed to take a Beta-blocker for high blood pressure, wouldn’t it be nice to know which beta-blocker has had more than 790 people reporting experiencing tinnitus as opposed to another drug in the same class that has only had 6 reports of tinnitus?
This report ranks the drugs in each class from those with the lowest risk of causing tinnitus or hearing loss to those with the greatest risk.
Using this special report, you can now compare the drugs within each class of drugs, and also compare between the various classes of drugs. The result? You can ask your doctor to prescribe the least ototoxic drug(s) that will do the job and thereby reduce your risk of experiencing tinnitus or hearing loss.
