WARNING: SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTIONS

Odactra can cause life-threatening allergic reactions. You should not take Odactra if you have severe, unstable or uncontrolled asthma. Your doctor will observe you in the office for at least 30 minutes following the first dose of Odactra. Auto-injectable epinephrine should be given to you with training and instructions for use. Odactra may not be suitable if you have certain underlying medical conditions that may reduce your ability to survive a serious allergic reaction. Odactra may not be suitable if you are taking certain medications, such as beta blockers, because you may not respond to epinephrine or inhaled bronchodilators.
