A combination of tuberculostatic drugs also enables the dose of streptomycin to be reduced to a level at which severe toxic side-reactions are less liable to occur. Side-effects with streptomycin include hypersensitivity reactions, renal and liver damage, and disturbance of balance due to the drug affecting the vestibular part of the 8th cranial nerve. The more potent derivative, Dihydrostreptomycin, is not now used because it affects the auditory part of the nerve and may give rise to permanent deafness.

For instance, streptomycin was first used as a primary weapon against tuberculosis (TB). However, streptomycin was later found to have large side effects, including hypersensitive reactions, renal and kidney damage and disturbance of balance due to the drug affects cranial nerve. One of the most potent derivative of streptomycin, Dihydrostreptomycin, is no longer used because it affects auditory nerve and may cause permanent deafness. (Harris, 1964, p.161)
Writer’s comment:
These are all information from the book. It’s actually page 160 and 161. It’s very specific…. It’s about streptomycin. There are a lot of different antibiotics, but this one is simply from, the side effects of streptomycin and then a little bit of dihydrostreptomycin.
