Allergic reactions: light hypersensitivity reactions (20-35% of cases) such as rashes and / or blisters, arthralgia. Sometimes - respiratory failure, anaphylactic shock with a lethal outcome.
The risk of anaphylaxis increases with repeated use. However, anaphylactic shock is possible even with the first administration. Results of intradermal tests are not completely reliable in predicting allergic reactions.
From the digestive system: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, stomatitis, malabsorption syndrome, abdominal pain; decrease in the exocrine function of the pancreas, pancreonecrosis, pseudocyst formation; fatty liver infiltration,impaired liver function (increased activity of serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, LDH, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia), in rare cases - cholestasis, jaundice.
From the side of the hemostasis system: decrease in the content of coagulation factors (V, VII, VIII and IX), hypophybrinogenemia, thrombocytopenia, increase in clotting time.
From the genitourinary system: glucosuria, polyuria, proteinuria, very rarely - the development of acute renal failure.
From the central nervous system: headache, depression, pathological drowsiness, fatigue, confusion, irritability, anxiety, hallucinations; in some cases, convulsions, tremors, coma, intracranial hemorrhage, or thrombosis.
From the side of metabolism: decreased glucose tolerance and decreased insulin levels, hyperglycemia, hyperammonemia, ketoacidosis, hyperuricemia, azotemia (not associated with impaired renal function), hyper- or hypolipidemia, rarely-hypothyroidism, decreased thyroxine-binding protein level.
Other: protein-free edema, immunodepression, leukopenia, development of infections, muscle hypertonicity,respiratory distress syndrome, weight loss, chills, fever, very rarely hyperpyrexia, in some cases - hemolytic anemia; a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome)
