Lumason (or Definity) Reactions

Hello!

We switched from Definity to Lumason in January 2022 and for the past several months have experienced significant adverse reactions. We made a few adjustments to its use but recently had another major reaction. Has anyone else experienced this?

We met with the manufacturer who indicates there is no increase in adverse reactions over the years and confirmed product safety. However, our experience will likely result in changing products...

Is anyone having increased reactions with Lumason or Definity? If you switched products, did the number or severity decrease?

Thanks for your input!
