Drug allergy testing helps determine whether you have a true allergy to a specific medication—or whether it’s safe to take. Many people are incorrectly labeled as allergic, especially to antibiotics like penicillin. This can lead to unnecessary avoidance of first-line medications.
Our testing process may include:
If a true allergy is confirmed, we’ll guide you through alternatives or begin desensitization if the medication is essential.
Drug desensitization is a specialized treatment that allows patients with known drug allergies to safely take medications they would otherwise react to—especially when no alternatives are available.
The process involves giving the medication in very small doses, gradually increasing the amount over time under close medical supervision. This helps the immune system build temporary tolerance and reduces the risk of a severe allergic reaction.
It's important to note that this tolerance lasts only as long as the medication is taken consistently. Once the medication is stopped, the desensitization process must be repeated before using it again.
Drug desensitization offers a reliable, proven way to access critical medications without compromising safety.
Drug allergy testing is crucial for identifying specific medication allergies and ensuring safe and effective treatment. Testing covers common categories like antibiotics, NSAIDs, anesthesia, chemotherapy, and more. If you experience unexplained reactions like rashes or anaphylaxis after medication, timely testing is essential.
Symptoms such as hives, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties shouldn't be ignored. Seek drug allergy testing to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment, avoiding further adverse reactions. Personalized testing can provide clarity on medication safety and guide healthcare decisions for better outcomes.
