Injection-site reactions (ISRs) are common adverse reactions to biological drugs, consisting of itching, erythema and induration at the injection site.1 ISRs usually appear within 24–48 h of injection and subside within a few days. They typically occur in the first 2 months of treatment and subsequently decrease in frequency; incidence varies by drug. While ISRs seldom result in discontinuation of treatment, they remain a safety concern when using biological drugs.

Abstract

Injection-site reactions (ISRs) are common adverse reactions to biological drugs, consisting of itching, erythema and induration at the injection site.1 ISRs usually appear within 24–48 h of injection and subside within a few days. They typically occur in the first 2 months of treatment and subsequently decrease in frequency; incidence varies by drug. While ISRs seldom result in discontinuation of treatment, they remain a safety concern when using biological drugs.
