Cdiff and gabapentin

Postby Joylover » Tue Aug 29, 2017 7:29 pm

I am taking gabapentin and neomycin and polymyxin B and hydrocortisone ear drops. And would like to know if I can get c diff from taking those meds together. I a worried because I have already had c diff seven times. If I get it again I will get the FMT.

I have not heard of gabapentin being linked to CDIFF but if there is any question, always check with your Pharmacist. They offer consults on any drug they deliver. As far as the ear drops, I have used them several times with no issue and have checked the insert myself.

I don't think that the ear drops will put you at risk for a relapse , and as for Gabapentin there is no evidence about it being linked to CDiff. If you will relapse it would not be because of the meds , it will be because Cdiff is a relapsing disease.
