Lasix is a common diuretic (water pill) that increases removal of fluid from the body by the kidneys. It is known to cause (or worsen) tinnitus in some patients, but it also used to treat tinnitus in patients with a condition known as Meniere's syndrome. Meniere's is a fairly common condition in which patients have a build up of too much inner ear fluid. In addition to a low salt diet, diuretics are sometimes used in treatment. Here is a list of some other medications which can cause or worsen tinnitus:
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen (Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn)Certain antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (Cipro), doxycycline (Vibramycin, others), gentamicin (Garamycin), erythromycin (Ery-Tab, others), tetracycline (Sumycin), tobramycin (Nebcin), and vancomycin (Vancocin)Antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and quinine
Benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Niravam, Xanax), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), and clonazepam (Klonopin)
Certain anticonvulsants, including carbamazepine (Tegretol, others) and valproic acid (Depakote, others)
Certain cancer drugs, including cisplatin (Platinol) and vincristine (Oncovin, Vincasar)
Loop diuretics, especially when given intravenously, including bumetanide (Bumex), furosemide (Lasix), and torsemide (Demadex)
