Learn about your drug allergies

Drug allergies occur when your immune system reacts abnormally to certain medications. This can lead to a range of reactions, from mild to severe. Common medications that can trigger allergic reactions include antibiotics (such as penicillin), NSAIDs, certain chemotherapy drugs, and medications used for anesthesia.
