While there have been no fatal reactions reported during desensitization, mild hypersensitivity reactions can occur in up to one-third of patients
Mild reactions:
In the very unlikely event of a severe systemic reaction, the desensitization procedure should be immediately discontinued, and the reactions should be treated immediately
If mild SKIN reaction (i.e. erythema, rash, pruritis, urticaria) WITHOUT systemic reaction, administer:
HOLD desensitization and contact the prescriber
If SYSTEMIC reaction (i.e. hypotension, wheezing, bronchospasm, angioedema), administer:
Immediately STOP desensitization and contact the prescriber STAT
