Common side effects include vertigo, vomiting, numbness of the face, fever, and rash.[2] Use during pregnancy may result in permanent deafness in the baby.[2] Use appears to be safe while breastfeeding.[3] It is not recommended in people with myasthenia gravis.[3] Streptomycin is in the aminoglycoside class of medication.[2] It works by blocking the ability of 30S ribosomal subunits to make proteins which results in bacterial death.
