SIDE EFFECTS
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information.
Clinical Trial Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The clinical data described for KABIVEN® reflects exposure in 145 patients exposed for 7 days to 4 weeks in 7 active-controlled trials. The pooled population exposed to KABIVEN® was 25 to 87 years old, 35% female, 99% Caucasian. The enrolled patients had varied underlying conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders (41%) neoplasms (48%), vascular disorders (35%) and other surgical procedures (21%). Most patients received central intravenous infusion doses of ≥ 80% of their target mean daily exposure.
Adverse reactions occurring in at least 1% of patients who received KABIVEN® are shown in Table 3.

Post-Marketing Experience
