Buminate Infusion must be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. You should not take it if you have any known allergies to this injection. Before taking it, inform the doctor you are suffering from any severe heart disease.Your doctor may check your blood pressure and ask you to get regular blood tests done while you are using this injection. The most common side effects include flushing, nausea, vomiting, chills, and fever.
Albumin in the Buminate Infusion replaces the blood or body fluids lost during excessive blood loss in certain conditions.
Albumin is normally present in the blood and constitutes 50% to 60% of the plasma proteins and 80% to 85% of the oncotic pressure. Exogenously administered albumin increases the oncotic pressure of the intravascular system, pulling fluids from the interstitial space, thereby decreasing edema and increasing the circulating blood volume.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
