Precautions
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are using this medicine. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to receive it.
This medicine may make you dizzy or drowsy. Avoid driving, using machines, or doing anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert. You may also feel dizzy or lightheaded when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position, so get up slowly.
This medicine may cause your skin to itch and a side effect called paresthesias. This may cause burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, "pins and needles", or tingling feelings on your skin. Check with your doctor if you have these symptoms after receiving the injection.
