Mangafodipir can cause transient increases of bilirubin and liver transaminases and transient decreases in plasma zinc.
The frequency of mild and moderate, non-serious adverse reactions, mainly transient warmth and flushing, is likely to increase when TESLASCAN (mangafodipir) is administered at the faster rate advised (4–6 ml/min).
