4.8 Undesirable effects

There are only few unconfirmed reports on the occurrence of possible anaphylactoid reactions after IV injection of Konakion MM.  There have been reports of anaphylactoid reactions after intravenous injections of Konakion MM. Local irritation may occur at the injection site but is unlikely due to the small injection volume.  Rarely, injection site reactions may occur which may be severe, including inflammation, atrophy and necrosis.
