IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTIONS

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

Systemic reactions include generalized skin erythema, urticaria, pruritus, angioedema, rhinitis, wheezing, laryngeal edema, chest tightness and hypotension. Other adverse reactions include local reactions at the injection site (e.g., erythema, itching, swelling, tenderness, and pain). Additional symptoms that are not usually associated with allergy also may occur, such as nausea, emesis, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
