Anaphylaxis
exp date isn't null, but text field is
It is an acute and often life-threatening immunologic reaction, frequently heralded by scalp pruritus, diffuse erythema, urticaria, or angioedema. Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, hyperperistalsis, hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmia may occur. Antibiotics (especially penicillins), other drugs, and radiographic contrast agents are the most common causes of serious anaphylactic reactions.
Prevention and Non-Pharmacological Treatment
- If acute (existing for less than 3 months), exclude drug reactions (e.g. penicillin), or infection
- Avoid precipitants
