reactions have happened in some people within minutes
after receiving
STRENSIQ and more
than 1
year after starting
treatment with STRENSIQ.
What are the possible side effects of STRENSIQ?
STRENSIQ may cause serious side effects, including:
Severe allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions. Allergic
reactions are
common with STRENSIQ treatment and can be severe and life
threatening. Severe allergic reactions have happened in some people within

Skin thickening or pits at the injection site (lipodystrophy) has happened several months after using STRENSIQ.
Calcium buildup in the eyes and kidneys. People with HPP

and may be a side
effect of STRENSIQ, although it may also occur in untreated
patients. Your healthcare provider should check your eyes and kidneys
before

treatment with STRENSIQ.
Immune-related effects. You may develop antibodies

difficulty breathing or walking, feeling tired, bone pain, stiff joints, or loss of appetite.
