Medication Hypersensitivity

Medication hypersensitivity is an abnormal immune response to a medicine, where the body mistakenly treats the drug as a harmful substance. This can cause symptoms ranging from mild skin rashes or itching to more severe reactions like swelling or difficulty breathing. These reactions are not dose-related but are caused by an immune system overreaction. It's important to identify such sensitivities to prevent future reactions. If you suspect a hypersensitivity, consult a healthcare provider to determine the cause and manage your medication plan safely.
