A member asked:
If i was allergic to cephalosporins when i take it how long until i would get anaphylaxis?

Anaphylaxis: Some individuals who repeatedly take an antibiotic don't eventually get anaphylaxis. It is always a possibiity. I dont recommend taking something repeatedly if you know you are allergic to it.
