A member asked:
Allergy to oxycontin? is that possible? how do you know? could a person be allergic to all opioids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioids: Opioids can cause release of histamine in the skin and cause itching and hives, so anything related to them can cause such a reaction and it is usually managed by premedicating with an antihistamine such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) if an opioid is necessary.
