Some of the side effects that they can have are-- and the things that we worry about the most are-- when they start having slurred speech, concentration issues, where they're having a unbalanced walking gait, kind of thing. So that is number one. If they have those types of issues, we want them to contact a physician.

A lot of patients also have nausea and/or vomiting. And so we'd want to know if their nausea or vomiting is not controlled by any nausea medications that they receive. They also can get diarrhea. And so we would like them to contact us if they have more than six loose stools a day.

The other thing is fatigue. And that is somewhat subjective. And so it's what can they handle. And if they have fatigue that they can't handle, we'd want them to contact us.
