Infusion-related reactions

Infusion-related reactions are side effects that can happen during or after receiving a medication through an intravenous (IV) infusion. These reactions may include symptoms like fever, chills, rash, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure. They occur because the body's immune system responds to the medication or the infusion process itself. While often mild and manageable, some reactions can be more serious, requiring immediate medical attention. Monitoring during infusions helps healthcare providers identify and treat these reactions promptly, ensuring patient safety.
