Potential side effects of allergy kits

Potential side effects of allergy kits

Patients should inform their physicians if they notice severe pain at the site of injection. This can be a sign of tissue damage. epinephrine reduces blood flow to the areas where it is injected, so injecting it into the same site too often can cause problems.

Potential side effects of epinephrine injection include:

  • Upset stomach and vomiting
  • Sweating
  • Weakness and dizziness
  • Nervousness
  • Pale skin
  • Headache
  • Shaking hands
  • Pounding, fast or irregular heartbeat
  • Breathing difficulties
