Defining drug allergies in contrast to adverse effects & intolerances

A drug allergy is a type of adverse drug reaction to a medication that occurs when your body's immune system overreacts to the medicine. Your body becomes sensitive to one of the drug's components, recognizing it as a potentially harmful foreign invader, much like bacteria or viruses. Your immune system creates antibodies to eliminate that medicine from your body if you take it again. 

Allergic reactions to drugs can be life-threatening. If you or a loved one experiences severe medication allergy symptoms such as tongue or throat swelling, low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or loss of consciousness, immediate action is necessary, Book drugs allergy test with Orange Health Labs now. Penicillin is responsible for the most common medication sensitivity. 

Drug allergies account for 5 to 10% of adverse drug reactions. Over 90% of all negative drug reactions are attributed to side effects that do not involve the immune system. 

Non-allergic reactions to medication are much more common than allergic reactions. These reactions are often predictable based on the properties of the drugs being administered and can manifest as various symptoms related to the specific medicine used. For instance, chemotherapy patients typically experience hair loss and nausea, while certain antibiotics may disrupt the digestive system, leading to diarrhoea and stomach cramps.

This knowledge can help prevent potentially life-threatening incidents.
