Within 10 minutes of administration, patient experienced tingling in arm and on tongue, headache, and nausea. Sensation on tongue diminished, but then lips started tingling . Patient had a sip of water and walked around a bit, then staff was notified. Slight headache persisted as did nausea and arm felt cold. Patient was offered benadryl, but initially declined. Stated odd sensation at back of throat subsiding, no difficulty breathing or throat closing down. Legs felt weak . When offered benadryl again, patient agreed and received 10 ml of the dye free childrens liquid (25 mg dose.) Patient was told to check with her physician before receiving the next dose. Patient stayed in waiting room for a bit longer, then did some shopping in the store. Patient checked back with the pharmacy to inform staff she felt well enough (not impaired) and was going to go home. Patient was given the bottle of liquid Benadryl at no charge to have on hand. A little after 1 pm, the pharmacist called the patient at home and was informed patient arrived safely home and was feeling much more "like normal." The patient did not feel strongly either way about a VAERS report, but decided that reporting her experience may benefit others. Patient open to phone calls about her other supplements and any other pertinent information.
