What side effects should I watch for with Glutathione injections?
Short answer
Glutathione injections can cause reactions, including pain, redness, or swelling where you inject. Serious allergic reactions or infections are possible with injectable medicines. Seek emergency care for trouble breathing, fainting, or swelling of the face or throat. Ask your physician about risks specific to your compounded formula.
Possible problems with Glutathione injections include pain, redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Allergic reactions and infections are also possible with injectable medicines. Safety data for compounded Glutathione injections are limited, so this is not a complete list of risks or a way to predict your reaction.
Call 911 or seek emergency care for trouble breathing, swelling of your face or throat, fainting, or a severe widespread rash. Do not take another dose while waiting for medical advice about a suspected serious reaction.
Contact a clinician promptly for fever, chills, worsening injection-site pain, spreading redness, warmth, or drainage. These symptoms can signal infection or another problem that needs assessment. Report any new or persistent symptoms, even if you are not sure the injection caused them.
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved. They do not undergo FDA review for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. Ask your physician and pharmacist about your formula’s ingredients and risks before starting.
