I have been told by others that Zavesca may cause nerve problems or tremors. Is this true?
Yes. Some patients have reported numbness and tingling in the hands, arms, legs, or feet (peripheral neuropathy). You should call your doctor right away if you get numbness or tingling in your arms or legs. Your doctor may test your nerves (neurological exam) before you start Zavesca and may repeat this at a later time.1 If you develop hand tremors (shaky movements like you’ve had too much coffee) or existing tremors get worse, you should call your doctor.
