A member asked:
How can you know if you are allergic to medications before you take them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HArd to tell: Assuming one has never had a drug reaction in the past, everyone is at risk for reaction to any medication they take. If one has had a drug reaction in the past then they would be at increased risk to reacting to that drug in the future and should not take it.
