Rare; may indicate a reaction to the porcine-derived material. Monitor temperature. If fever persists beyond 24 hours, seek medical evaluation.

Cerebrolysin is derived from porcine brain tissue; individuals with porcine protein allergies are at higher risk. Symptoms may include itching, hives, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of anaphylaxis occur. Have antihistamines and epinephrine available.

Inflammation of the vein at the IV site. Risk increases with prolonged IV infusions or repeated use of the same vein. Rotate IV sites and use proper aseptic technique. Symptoms include redness, warmth, swelling, or pain along the vein. Seek medical evaluation if symptoms develop.

May occur at or near IM injection sites. Usually resolves within 48 hours. Apply heat or take over-the-counter analgesics if needed.

Cerebrolysin may have mild stimulant-like effects on the central nervous system. Avoid injections late in the day. Symptoms typically resolve after treatment discontinuation.

Rare; may occur in sensitive individuals. Usually mild and self-resolving. Discontinue if symptoms are bothersome and consult a healthcare provider.

Very rare; reported in isolated cases, particularly in individuals with a history of seizure disorders. Cerebrolysin should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy. Seek immediate medical attention if seizure activity occurs.
