Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2008Drug for tinnitus - is this right?
I have had tinnitus for some 15 years. In the UK, drugs are forever changing their name(s), and I never take too much notice of what it is called. However, I see that the medication currently prescribed for my tinnitus is Prochlorperazine Maleate. Does this make any sense? On looking it up on the internet, I cannot see any reference to tinnitus. Can anyone help pleeze? Markus > I have had tinnitus for some 15 years.

As far as I know there is no medication prescribed for tinnitus to stop the noise, however, antidepressants are sometimes prescribed to help prevent the sufferer becoming to low. I've recently watched a 4hr DVD : Tinnitus - The Way ahead, 4th October BTA conference 2007, available from the British Tinnitus Association website. You might find it very interesting as I did. Dr lvor Donaldson, Consultant ENT Surgeon (and others) gives an outstanding presentation on the latest medical advancement in treating Tinnitus. Hope this helps. Joslyn Willis "Action of Stemetil: Prochlorperazine has several mechanisms of action that lead to its effects of relieving nausea and vomiting. It can also be used to relieve psychotic symptoms." There is no specific medication for tinnitus. If this works for you take it. If it doesn't work drop it.
