When to stop
- Any reduction in urine output, swelling in the legs or face, or foamy urine. All are possible signs of kidney injury. Stop and seek medical assessment.
- Rising creatinine or falling eGFR on bloodwork. Kidney damage is usually silent before it is symptomatic, which is why the bloodwork rather than how you feel is the signal.
- Nausea, vomiting or an inability to keep fluids down. Dehydration compounds the renal risk.
- Any allergic response: rash, hives, facial swelling or difficulty breathing. Seek urgent care.
- An injection site that ulcerates or does not heal.
