The most common adverse reactions include fever and chills; rash, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and hypotension. Should an adverse reaction occur, slow or stop the infusion for a period of time which may result in the disappearance of the symptoms. If administration has been stopped and the patient requires additional Albutein, material from a different lot should be used.
Albutein, particularly if administered rapidly, may result in vascular overload with resultant pulmonary edema.
