Gentamycin Reviews
Working / Worked
stopped the attacks but made me off balance
Working / Worked
Attackes of severe vertigo, dizziness, vomiting, hearing loss appear to be triggered by flucuations in my hormone levels, especially the week before my menstraual cycles. I was first treated in March 2008 with Intratympanic Gentamycin injections and had great success .... full relief from all symptomes for about 10 months until I became pregnant in Nov. 2008. Undergoing further treatments as required to keep the vertigo attacks under control throughout my pregnancy.

I was given Flagyl and Cipro, but I could not hold down the Flagyl as I was on a liquid diet. 14 days on the two seemed to do the job!

This works great.. especially after sinus surgery. It is one of the only antiobiotic not absorbed into the blood stream. It does however kill ALL bacteria in the system wherever taken. This medicine has to be compounded in a specialty pharmacy!
Somewhat Helpful
Had the "wick" surgery. It helped for 2 years, still had attacks but not as often but now suffer daily attacks.
Too Soon To Tell
Right now I am on this drug to try and calm down the appearance of abcesses. But you know how that goes I could get used to it.
Not Working
I lost hearing after trying it in one ear.
