A number of patients have what is known as the nitritoid-like response with the use of gold sodium thiomalate (Myochrysine). It causes the patient to feel flushed and light-headed and can occasionally lead to fainting. For this reason, they should lie down for 10 to 15 minutes after the injection. |
