IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTIONS

  • Allergenic extracts can cause severe life-threatening systemic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
  • Do not administer allergenic extracts to patients with severe, unstable, or uncontrollable asthma.
  • Observe patients in the office for at least 30 minutes following treatment. Emergency measures and personnel trained in their use must be available immediately in the event of a life-threatening reaction.
  • Immunotherapy may not be suitable for patients with certain underlying medical conditions that may reduce their ability to survive a systemic allergic reaction.
  • Allergenic extracts may not be suitable for patients receiving medications such as beta-blockers that may make them unresponsive to epinephrine or inhaled bronchodilators.

Do not inject intravenously. Initial dose should be based on skin test reactivity.

The most common adverse reactions include localized erythema, itching, swelling, tenderness, and pain. Systemic adverse reactions include generalized skin erythema, urticaria, pruritus, angioedema, rhinitis, wheezing, chest tightness,1 laryngeal edema, and hypotension.
