Contraindications

Previous significant hypersensitivity reaction to SYNAGIS.

Warnings and Precautions

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock (including fatal cases) and other severe acute hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. Permanently discontinue SYNAGIS and administer appropriate medication if such reactions occur.

Coagulation Disorders: SYNAGIS should be given with caution to children with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder.

RSV Diagnostic Test Interference: Palivizumab may interfere with immunological-based RSV diagnostic tests, such as some antigen detection-based assays.

Adverse Reactions

Serious Adverse Reactions: The most common serious adverse reactions occurring with SYNAGIS are anaphylaxis and other acute hypersensitivity reactions.

Most Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions are fever and rash.

Postmarketing Experience: Severe thrombocytopenia and injection site reactions have been identified during post approval use of SYNAGIS. 
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

These are not all the possible risks associated with SYNAGIS. Please see full Prescribing Information for SYNAGIS, including Patient Information. To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Sobi North America at 1-866-773-5274 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
