    Only 10% of patients taking this type of medication experiences what we call self - limited post injection reactions, and the signs and symtoms felt by the patient are just merely the side effects. it will usually last from15 to 20 minutes. there is no necessary treatment requires, perhaps the nurse should just stay with the patient inorder to decrease the anxiety accompanied by this typeof reaction. Cardiorespiratory support is not recommended for this is not a cardiotoxic reaction.
