Reloxin's Side Effects
Posted
The most common side effects reported during the study were events at the injection site, nervous system disorders such as headache, and eye events, including drooping eyelids or eyebrows.
The side effects, however, did not appear bothersome enough to prompt most patients to quit the study. Only one patient dropped out of the study because of an adverse effect. Another person quit the study because the drug did not appear to work, and a few others withdrew for personal reasons. In all, 88% of participants completed the study.
Based on their findings, the study authors say multiple treatments of 50 units of Reloxin is well tolerated and the rate of treatment-related side effects decrease over time. There have been no signs of "cumulative safety issues after more than 4,000 treatments with Reloxin," they write in the journal article.
