What It Is

Drug allergies occur when the immune system reacts abnormally to certain medications, causing skin reactions like rashes, hives, itching, redness, or swelling. In severe cases, it may trigger life-threatening reactions such as anaphylaxis. Common culprits include antibiotics, painkillers, and anti-seizure medications.
