What side effects should I watch for with NAD+ injection?
Short answer
NAD+ injection may cause pain, redness, swelling, or bruising where you inject. Safety data for injected NAD+ are limited, so its full side effect profile is not well established. Seek emergency care for trouble breathing, throat swelling, or fainting. Report other new or worsening symptoms to your physician.
Possible problems with NAD+ injection include soreness, redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Any injection can also carry a risk of infection or an allergic reaction. Research on the safety of injected NAD+ is limited, especially with longer use. A complete list of side effects and their rates is not well established.
Call 911 for trouble breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, or fainting. Seek prompt medical care for fever, chills, pus, or redness that spreads from the injection site. Severe pain or rapidly worsening symptoms also need medical attention. Do not assume a strong reaction is a normal part of treatment.
Report new symptoms to your prescribing physician before your next injection. Tell them when symptoms started, your last dose, and any other medicines or supplements you took. Keep the vial and packaging available in case the pharmacy needs the lot information.
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.
