Dihydrostreptomycin sulfate is the sulfate salt form of Dihydrostreptomycin. It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with antibacterial effect against Gram-negative bacteria. It exhibits ototoxicity that causes irreversible damage in inner ear hair cells, leading to hearing loss. It blocks mechanoelectric transduction channels, increases intracellular calcium concentrations, and obstructs auditory signal transmission.
