A member asked:
I am allergic to penicillin notatum, would i be allergic to penicillin or amoxicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Penicillium notatum is a mold/fungi that if allergic, can cause symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, worsening of asthma symptoms, etc. Penicillin antibiotics do not contain enough of the mold, and when ingested, would be a different reaction. To be safe, you could get tested for penicillin allergy with an allergist.
