Welcome back to our April "Wellness Wednesday" series!
Did you know that in the U.S., over 100 classes of drugs commonly used to treat pain, infections, cancer, heart, or kidney disease can actually damage your inner ear?
When we take necessary medications to heal one part of our body, our ears sometimes bear the burden. This is why our audiology team has teamed up with Dr. Umez at Gattis Pharmacy. Through Gattis Pharmacyโs personalized Medication Therapy Management (MTM) consultations, Dr. Umez can review your prescriptions for ototoxic risks before damage occurs.
If you are starting a new medication, always ask: "Could this affect my hearing?"
