- Angioedema of lips, tongue, throat, or face
- Bronchospasm, dyspnea, wheezing, or chest tightness
- Anaphylaxis or severe infusion/injection reaction
DRUG INTERACTIONS
- CNS depressants may increase sedation or respiratory depression
- Neuromuscular blockers interact with anesthetics, aminoglycosides, and magnesium
- Cholinergic or anticholinergic drugs may modify effects
- Alcohol should be avoided with sedating agents
PRECAUTIONS
- Assess seizure, psychiatric, respiratory, and hepatic/renal history
- Avoid driving or hazardous activity until effects are known
