This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Risk of Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, and abdominal discomfort.

6.1 Clinical Trials 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 safety of DAWNZERA reflects the exposure in a total of 171 adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with hereditary angioedema (HAE) from a placebo-controlled trial (OASIS-HAE) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] , and 2 other clinical studies.
The average duration of DAWNZERA treatment exposure across the 3 clinical studies was 14 months.
The safety data below is based on the 24-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (OASIS-HAE), in which patients received at least one subcutaneous dose of DAWNZERA 80 mg once every 4 weeks (n=45), DAWNZERA 80 mg once every 8 weeks (n=23), or matching placebo (n=22).
Demographics of the patients in OASIS-HAE are summarized in Clinical Studies [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Table 1 provides the most common adverse reactions with DAWNZERA with incidence ≥5% and more common than placebo.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported following use of DAWNZERA.
Advise patients to discontinue DAWNZERA and seek immediate medical attention if serious hypersensitivity reactions occur.
( 5.1 ) 5.1 Risk of Hypersensitivity Reactions, Including Anaphylaxis Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients treated with DAWNZERA [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
If signs and symptoms of serious hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue DAWNZERA and institute appropriate therapy.
Like all medications, Dawnzera can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
