What is the indication for plasmapheresis in anaphylaxic drug allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Distinctly unusual: It would be distinctly unusual to use plasmapheresis for drug allergy reaction. The treatment for anaphylactic drug allergic reaction is to stop the medication and treat the patient with appropriate medications.
