Bivirkninger viste sig sædvanligvis ved opkastning, tab af appetit, feber og overbelastning af kredsløbet med de dertil knyttede kliniske signaler, som fx tachypnø, dyspnæ, anstrengte lungelyde og lungeødem, overbelastning af kredsløbet kontrolleres ved at nedsætte administrationsraten.
Effects commonly seen were vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and circulatory overload with associated clinical signs such as tachypnea, dyspnea, harsh lung sounds, and pulmonary edaema; circulatory overload was controlled by slowing the rate of administration.
