[Good Ole Bill]

Looking at the numbers posted by rx7171, I have no reason to challenge what they’ve provided below.

Dizziness. 26.6%
Confusional state. 9.1%
Fall +1.8% improvement
Depressed mood. 2.6%
Headache. 3.7%
Anxiety. 0.8%
Balance disorder. 5.3%
Disorientation. 5.4%

My question is: Were all of these conditions directly attributable to Blarcamesine? Could there have been other situations that contributed to these supposed side effects?

Take for example dizziness and balance disorder. Depending on the age(s) of the participants, dizziness and balance disorder are common among the elderly. At age 80, I experience these on occasion when getting out of bed. The same applies to my younger brother (age 78) and my wife (age 77). My family doctor (early forties) complains of the same conditions. These are have been shown to be due to inner ear blockages which impact equilibrium. Were the complainants checked for conditions that might have accounted for these symptoms?

What about disorientation and confusional state? I know of a lady who had been taken to the emergency room twice in the past four months suffering from these very symptoms. She was found to have a bladder infection on both occasions. The doctors said in each case that urinary tract infections are often accompanied by disorientation and confusion. UTI’s are more common among the elderly. Were those suffering from these side effects checked for other conditions that might have contributed to these symptoms?

I may be out in left field here but am unsure that all of these symptoms were in all cases properly attributable to Blarcamesine.
