Cotara Treatment
Headaches, convulsions (seizures), asthenia (weakness or debility) and hemiparesis (paralysis of one side of the body) are the most commonly reported side effects in clinical trials using Cotara. Other reported side effects include (but are not limited to): somnolence (drowsiness), urinary tract infection, pain, nausea, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), confusion, rash, accidental injury, brain edema (swelling), aphasia (impaired speech and communication), catheter site irritation, agitation, hyponatremia (low sodium in blood), amblyopia (dim vision), fever, amnesia (memory loss) and insomnia (difficulty sleeping). There is a possibility that your white blood cells and platelet counts could be decreased. This could result in an increased risk of infection and/or bleeding. Your thyroid function may be decreased by radioactive iodine. Potential risks also include severe allergic reactions with decreased blood pressure and trouble breathing. Also, more minor allergic effects such as fever, chills, nausea, and rash can occur. One patient was hospitalized due to difficulty with wound healing where the catheters were inserted. One patient with prostate cancer who received an intravenous (IV) dose of the study drug expired due to kidney and liver failure
I remember reading about it somewhere else as well....
I can't remember right now if it was Mexico or Stanford. I'm thinking Stanford because the PI (forgot her name) failed to show up for the presentation like the missing China men.....
Terry or CJ might remember.....
