Does Taking Omeprazole & Domperidone Cause Severe Tinnitus?
Hi. I have had severe tinnitus for over a year and am wondering if it could be connected to my taking Omeprazole and Domperidone daily? I m seeing my GP later for a meds review and wondered if I should ask her to recommend alternative medication. They do settle my reflux problem but as I had Hepatitis E about 7 years ago I don t want to compromise my Liver. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Trish.
