How are an allergic reaction and a side effect different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be confusing: Allergic reactions are less common and unanticipated. Side effects of medications are many times predictable and pretty common. It's important that the medication not be given again if a true allergic reaction. Side effects may be managed by dose, duration, etc. For a little longer explanation go to: http://www.Familyallergyasthmacare.Com/2013/05/medication-allergy-or-side-effect/.
