You may experience a temporary increase in bone pain. You may have trouble with urination or develop abnormal amount of pressure on your spinal cord which can result in paralysis, which may be life-threatening.

Cause your blood sugar to increase, including increasing your risk of developing diabetes. You should have your blood sugar monitored while taking CAMCEVI.

Increase your risk of heart problems including heart attack, sudden death, or stroke. It can also cause your heart to beat irregularly.

Cause some patients to have seizures.

Cause fetal harm if administered to a pregnant woman.

Cause impotence and impair fertility in males of reproductive potential.
