side effects of Bonista injection

[yvaishnavi]

a doctor prescribed Bonista inj. to my mother aged 86. after about 6 injections the patient started showing symptoms like loss of balance, slurred speech, loss of memory and disorientation. the injections were stopped and the patient started showing signs of improvement.in the mean time a neurologist was consulted who after a MRI ruled out any relation between Bonista and the symptoms. The injections were resumed . however the symptoms reappeared but  with less intensity. my question is whether there is any such report .

My father 74 was prescribed Bonista  inj daily 1 ml for 6 months. After 1 month his haemoglobin started falling from 10.5 to 7 and was administered a blood transfusion. The doctor ruled out any connection with the injection. He advised pet scan and suspected cancer for the falling Hb%.

Again after 2 month Hb % was down to 6% and again we gave a blood transfusion. After we stopped the injection after 4 months. The Hb% automatically improved to 10%.

Hi!
Well, loss of balance, slurred speech, loss of memory and disorientation are not known side effects of Bonista injection, so in a way the neurologist was correct. However, if the symptoms are reappearing with the injections, then yes, there could be a connection, or the injection is causing these symptoms due to some drug interactions, if the patient is on other drugs. Do discuss this with your mother's doctor. Take care!
