Ototoxicity claim[edit]

Revision 603253509 added the claim that, anecdotally, IV ondansetron is linked with ototoxicity when administered too quickly. This revision had no source for the claim. A source was later added, but this source makes no mention of ototoxicity in either the archived or present versions. I was also unable to find anything in the scientific literature about ototoxicity; the closest I came to a supporting source was an article on ototoxic drugs that had a list of drugs reported to cause vertigo or dizziness as a side effect, which is not the same as ototoxicity. I opted to remove the claim rather than mark it as needing a citation especially given that the claim itself is presented as anecdotal, but I'm noting the removal here in case someone happens to know of a supporting source.
