Occasionally, prescription medicine causes tinnitus as a side effect. In most cases, this type of tinnitus is short-lived and resolves as soon as the individual stops using the problematic medication. Antibiotics, cancer medication, some antidepressants, and diuretics can sometimes lead to tinnitus, and it is always best to speak to a doctor rather than ceasing the medication. Sometimes, the physician can prescribe an alternative drug that will not cause tinnitus.
