A member asked:
Would an allergy test for a drug (morphine and derivatives) be something a pcp can do, or is this best left to an allergist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: The reaction to opiate (nausea, drowsiness, even itching etc) is not from allergy but from an intolerance which cannot be detected by any test .
