Side Effects


​​​​​​​Because this medication is given at the site of your condition, most of the side effects occur close to where the medication is injected. Redness, bruising, infection, and pain at the injection site may occur.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Dr. Hansen is available to discuss side effects. Please call our Breckenridge location at 970-453-4244.
