The placenta is formulated to have relatively low side effects and has been called an injectable herbal medicine. However, some of the following side effects have been reported. If you experience any of the below or have concerns regarding them, please consult with your doctor.

• Pain in injection site
• Allergic reaction (rash/fever/itchiness, etc.)
• Hardening of injection site
• Headache
• Liver dysfunction (Increase in AST/ALT, etc.)

In addition, because its formulation includes proteins and amino acids derived from human tissue, it may cause shock.

• Promotes circulation (improves cold sensitivity and metabolism)
• Improves menopause symptoms
• Improves lactation deficiencies
• Regulates menstruation

Because the placenta is made from human tissue, it cannot be said that there is no risk of infection from pathogen invasion.
To date, there have been no reports of infectious diseases either in Japan or overseas that have been transmitted by drugs that use human placenta, including Laennec. However, the risk of transmission, such as a mutant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), cannot be completely ruled out. Thus, anyone who receives Laennec will not be allowed to donate blood through the Japanese Red Cross Society.
With this in mind, we ask that all patients who wish to receive placenta injections at Ueno International Clinic carefully review and understand the explanation that is given and sign a consent form.
