Important Safety Information

Call your health care provider or go to the emergency department right away if you have any of the following symptoms because these may be signs of a serious allergic reaction: wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, turning blue (look at lips and gums), fast heartbeat, swelling of the face, faintness, rash, low blood pressure, or hives. XYNTHA contains trace amounts of hamster protein. You may develop an allergic reaction to these proteins. Tell your health care provider if you have had an allergic reaction to hamster protein.
Call your health care provider right away if bleeding is not controlled after using XYNTHA; this may be a sign of an inhibitor, an antibody that may stop XYNTHA from working properly. Your health care provider may need to take blood tests to monitor for inhibitors.
Across all clinical studies, the most common side effects (10% or more) with XYNTHA in adult and pediatric previously treated patients were headache (24% of subjects), joint pain (23%), fever (23%), and cough (12%). Other side effects reported in 5% or more of patients were diarrhea, vomiting, and weakness.
