What is the definition or description of: mannitol allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pseudoallergy: Mannitol , not being a protein, is not a good candidate for an allergen. While it may mimic an anaphylactic reaction when given IV, it is not mediated by the allergy antibody known as IgE. However the treatment is the same as anaphylaxis.
