Take the antidiarrheal medication your doctor has prescribed. Eat bland foods such as bananas, rice, unsweetened applesauce, toast, cereal, and potatoes. If the diarrhea continues, contact your doctor or nurse again. Even when carefully administered by trained personnel, there is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site. A localized burn may result.
Most skin burns are treatable and heal well.
Rarely skin burns can result in skin ulcers requiring treatment, which could possibly result in a skin graft. In extreme cases, the drug may leak out of another vein different from the place of injection. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse. The menstrual cycle and sperm production may become irregular or stop permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
