Antihypertensive Drug Allergy

Antihypertensive drug allergy refers to an abnormal reaction to medications used to lower high blood pressure. When a person with this allergy takes an antihypertensive drug, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as harmful. This can lead to symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, or more severe reactions like difficulty breathing. It's important for individuals with this allergy to inform their healthcare providers so they can avoid the offending medication and find safe alternatives to manage their blood pressure effectively. Always consult a doctor if you suspect a drug allergy.
