A member asked:
What's the difference in being truly allergic to nsaids, and just being psuedoallergic? does being psuedoallergic mean there's hope i can use nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The symptoms from drugs you have are what matter most. The mechanism is another issue. Some reactions are specific to a particular nsaid, others cover all classes except the cox 2 specific ones. See an allergist.
