Tinnex Injection
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Tinnex Injection is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of tinnitus (ringing or buzzing sound in the ears despite the absence of any external noise). It works by suppressing the activity of a chemical called glutamate, which is responsible for tinnitus.
Tinnex Injection is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional and should not be self administered. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Always remember that you may have to undergo some medical tests to check for an underlying disorder which may have tinnitus as a symptom.
Some common side effects of this medicine include headache, nausea and dry mouth. It even causes dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Apart from medicine following methods can be helpful to reduce tinnitus. Try to divert your attention to activities around you and play some music in the background during the day and while falling asleep. You should quit smoking and try to keep away the stress. But, when highly troubled by tinnitus, try wearing a tinnitus suppressor or masker.

Benefits of Tinnex Injection
In Treatment of Abdominal pain
Tinnex Injection effectively relieves sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach and intestine (gut), thereby relaxing the muscles and improving the movement of food. This helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating, and discomfort. Eventually, it will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.
In Treatment of Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Tinnitus is the abnormal ringing sound in the ears without the presence of any such sound by any physical source. Tinnex Injection makes this sound milder and reduces the number of times you get it. It will be more effective if you take this medicine regularly as prescribed so try not to miss doses. It may take a couple of weeks before you notice any improvements but keep taking it, even if you do feel better, until your doctor advises it is safe to stop.
