A member asked:

Can my unborn child be harmed if i have a drug allergy?

Dr. Richard Wasserman answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

No: Having a drug allergy is only a problem if you are exposed to the drug. If there is a severe drug allergy during pregnancy there is a potential for a problem. Avoid the drug to which you are allergic.
