Bioinjector side effects
Aug 29, 2006

Hi Carol, I read one of your viewers e-mails at http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/Fuzeon/Current/Q174910.html

We have had patients that get these nerve type reactions with the bioinjector. From what we have learned if given a little close to a nerve tract, the trauma from the injection process can cause the symptoms your viewer described. The symptoms do resolve but in our cases it did take some time. I would urge this viewer to contact the trial site and notify them of the reaction.

Response from Ms. Salisbury

Thanks for your email. I will post your answer in hopes patients with bioinjector trauma will call their clinical trial coordinator at the study site. Thanks again. Carol
