Description: Dihydrostreptomycin, a derivative of the aminoglycoside antibiotic streptomycin with similar antibacterial activity, was first synthesized in 1947 and subsequently used in the treatment of tuberculosis and gram-negative infections. Preparations for systemic use have been widely withdrawn as a result of concern regarding their severe ototoxicity. Dihydrostreptomycin is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It remains available in oral preparations in some countries.
