worked noticeably for three months, then nothing or so slow it is discouraging
I have been taking this drug sense 01/02/18. I had more than 25 sores over my head. now, there is only a few and it even took big sores away and still going strong. I didn't really had any side affects to worry about. I had low self esteem when I had sores all over my head and face people can see. now, my low self esteem has gone away and I look better and more happier. awesome meds
Introduced to the new drug by my dermatologist in late 2012, an irregular heartbeat prevented removal of the long negleted basil cell by normal surgery. The cell located above my right eye. After 3 months of treatment, 150 MG pill, my doctor was amazed at the progress of the healing factor, summoning staff to observe. A side effect,losing the sensation of taste in non spicy-foods (hot)while bearable did contribute to a welcomed weight loss at first. The continuing loss became alarming after a point and I started using protien supplements loaded with vitamins and was perscribed monthly B-12 injections by my PCP. 7 months into the treatment the cell was reduced considerably, although my eye was producing tears at a rate the drainage system couldn't handle. Appontments for heart monitering were undertaken during this time period also. Fearing the cancer had moved into my eye socket I was advised to stop the drug and see the staff of an eye clinic to diagnose the problem. After 2 months of intermittent tests and laser eye surgery to open a vent in one of the Y shaped drain flaps, which I was informed was tilted toward the other due to eye pressure and caused a narrowing was performed to increase drainage. I was advised the procedure was a success although the watering continued for weeks until the follow up with the Eye Clinic stated nothing more could be done. An upcoming appointment with another eye specialist and resuming the drug regime 1 1/2 months ago including laser treatments to the infected area above the eye with another treatment due after the eye appointment. Initial reversal of the effects of the cancer were welcomed and prove this drug is benefical in treating the disease. Side effects are tolerable as stated and I highly recommend it's effectivness.
