A member asked:
Is there a test for nsaid allergy? either blood, skin prick, or otherwise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This type of reaction is not caused by the allergic antibody (ige), and no skin test or blood test is available. A challenge could be performed, but this is risky. If the drug is required, desensitization is an option.
