WARNING — INTRAVENOUS AND INTRAMUSCULAR USE
Severe reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during and
immediately after
INTRAVENOUS injection of AquaMEPHYTON (Phytonadione), even when
precautions have
been taken to dilute the AquaMEPHYTON and to avoid rapid infusion.
Severe reactions, including
fatalities, have also been reported following INTRAMUSCULAR
administration. Typically these
severe reactions have resembled hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis,
including shock and cardiac
and/or respiratory arrest. Some patients have exhibited these severe
reactions on receiving
AquaMEPHYTON for the first time. Therefore the INTRAVENOUS and
INTRAMUSCULAR
routes should be restricted to those situations where the subcutaneous
route is not feasible and
the serious risk involved is considered justified.
