If your child has any of these signs or symptoms of a severe allergic reaction after getting SYNAGIS, call your child’s healthcare provider or get medical help right away.

Before your child receives SYNAGIS, tell your child’s healthcare provider about all of your child’s medical conditions, including if your child:

  • has ever had a reaction to SYNAGIS
  • has bleeding or bruising problems

SYNAGIS is given by injection. If your child has a problem with bleeding or bruises easily, an injection could cause a problem.
