Anti-inflammatory Drug Allergy

Anti-inflammatory drug allergy refers to an adverse reaction some people experience when taking certain medications designed to reduce inflammation and pain, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or aspirin. Symptoms can include skin rashes, itching, swelling, or even more severe reactions like difficulty breathing. These allergies occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies the drug as harmful, triggering an inappropriate response. If someone suspects they have an allergy to anti-inflammatory drugs, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and alternative treatment options.
