8. Side effects

There may be a rise in body temperature following injection, but this is generally harmless. However, if the patient develops a high temperature, the doctor should be informed.

Slight swelling and reddening may occur between the 2nd and 5th day after injection where the needle was inserted. These symptoms too are harmless and will disappear of their own accord. In the event of more intensive reddening and excessive sensations of local heat, the affected part of the body can be cooled using ice-packs.
