In rare cases, whiskey injections may cause allergies, and in very rare cases, they may cause anaphylactic shock.
See your doctor or nurse immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Skin lesions, itching
Swelling of the face, lips or tongue
Cough, shortness of breath
These side effects may occur both during and after the injection.
Symptoms such as pain, swelling, temporary inflammation, a feeling of warmth or redness in the treated joint may occur after intra-articular injection of Viscor. These symptoms are temporary and can be relieved by joint rest or cooling with ice packs. See your doctor if you do not have relief from any of these symptoms for up to 4 days or if you experience any of these symptoms.
People with autoimmune or connective tissue disorders are more likely to have side effects.
