A member asked:
Is it safe to use antibiotics that contain penicillin if i dont know if i am allergic to penicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most people are not allergic to it & if it is the proper drug for the issue involved I would take it. Studies actually show that 3/4 of adults who think they are allergic based on some skin rash in childhood are actually not allergic on testing.
