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 are at increased risk for developing calcium build-up due to disease 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 and during
treatment with STRENSIQ.

Immune-related effects. You may develop antibodies during
