A member asked:
How long would it take for anaphylaxis to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Typically within a few minutes and up to 30 min. It can take longer, but this is rare. Go to the emergency room if you suspect anaphylaxis, and use your Epinephrine auto injector (epipen, auvi-q) if so indicated.
