Thiamine is generally well tolerated, but hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and urticaria occur rarely. Therefore, the nurse must assess for these rare reactions during injection. Tachycardia, decline in respiratory rate, muscle twitching, and chills are not commonly associated with thiamine administration.
