Abstract
The effect of the combined administration of cisplatin and furosemide on the electrophysiological hearing thresholds and endocochlear DC potential (EP) was studied in guinea pigs. A lack of interaction was found in animals given repeated intraperitoneal injections of a low dose of cisplatin with a pharmacological dose of furosemide. An ototoxic interaction occurred when a moderately high dose of cisplatin was administered intravenously at a time when the strial function was most affected by a very high dose of furosemide. The interaction was seen both as a decreased EP and a pronounced shift of auditory thresholds. It is concluded that the stria vascularis plays a role in the ototoxic mechanism of cisplatin.Entities:
