It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered.

In Cerebral edema (accumulation of excessive fluid in the brain)

Symptoms of brain swelling (cerebral edema) include headache, dizziness, nausea, numbness or weakness, loss of coordination or balance, loss of the ability to see or speak, seizures (fits), memory loss, incontinence, or altered level of consciousness.
