Side effects of Albuman in details

Side effects during or after the administration of Albuman have been reported. These include a rise in temperature, skin reactions or general intolerance phenomena, in rare cases leading to shock.

Note: If symptoms indicating the onset of circulatory overloading occur (headache, dyspnea, congestion of the jugular vein), the infusion must be discontinued immediately.

In neonates and infants receiving Albuman at a dosage which is greater than the recommended maximum dosage and which corresponds to their estimated circulating volume or exceeds this, it is conceivable that even the very low content of isoagglutinins may result in clinical symptoms. Signs of increased hemolysis should be looked out for.

Immediate measures to be taken in the case of intolerance reactions
