REACTION TO DRUGS

Drug reactions

There are three types of drug reactions:

  • Allergy: often to antibiotics (penicillin)
  • Intolerance: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, painkillers)
  • Side effects

Treatment of drug reactions

Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, the drug must not be taken again.

Substitute drugs must be identified

Always carry your allergy passport with you
