A member asked:
3 allergists told me there was no way to test for an aspirin/nsaid allergy. i am desperate to know for sure if i'm allergic. is there really no test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No safe test: Since Aspirin and NSAID allergy is not typically mediated by ige antibody, allergy blood and skin tests are not helpful. A challenge test where the medication is taken can be done, but the risk may be unacceptable.
