This product is intended for use only by licensed medical personnel experienced in administering allergenic extracts and trained to provide immediate emergency treatment in the event of a life-threatening reaction.
Allergenic extracts may potentially elicit a severe life-threatening systemic reaction, rarely resulting in death 1. Therefore, emergency measures and personnel trained in their use must be available immediately in the event of such a reaction. Patients should be instructed to recognize adverse reaction symptoms and cautioned to contact the physician's office if symptoms occur. See ADVERSE REACTION, Section 3, of this insert for information regarding adverse event reporting.
Standardized glycerinated extracts may differ in potency from regular extracts and therefore, are not directly interchangeable with non-standardized extracts, or other manufacturers' products.
Note: BAU/mL Standardized grass pollens are not interchangeable with any other grass pollen products. This product should never be injected intravenously. Patients with cardiovascular diseases or pulmonary diseases such as symptomatic unstable, steroid-dependent asthma, and/or those who are receiving cardiovascular drugs such as beta blockers, may be at higher risk for severe adverse reactions. These patients may also be more refractory to the normal allergy treatment regimen. Patients should be treated only if the benefit of treatment outweighs the risks.1
