An allergic reaction will not occur on the first exposure to a substance. The first exposure allows the body to create antibodies and memory lymphocyte cells for the antigen. However, drugs often contain many different substances, including dyes, which could cause allergic reactions. This can cause an allergic reaction on the first ...

The classification organizes the hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs into the following five categories: NSAIDs-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) is an acute (immediate to several hours) exacerbation of bronchoconstriction and other symptoms of asthma in individuals with a history of asthma and/or nasal congestion, rhinorrhea or other symptoms of rhinitis and sinusitis in individuals ...

Asthma, rhinitis, pruritus, gastrointestinal disturbances, urticaria, angioedema, shock, anaphylaxis [2] Allergenicity is highest in Japan and Korea. [3] It is estimated that buckwheat causes 5% of all immediate-type allergic reaction cases (from food) in Japan. [4] Hazard extends to inhalation of milled flour particles (aeroallergen).
Adrenaline (or epinephrine) is the first-line treatment for the life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. [22] The most common anaphylactic reactions are induced by foods, insect stings and medications. [23]
Anaphylactoid reaction, non-immune anaphylaxis, or pseudoanaphylaxis, is a type of anaphylaxis that does not involve an allergic reaction but is due to direct mast cell degranulation. [ 10 ] [ 42 ] Non-immune anaphylaxis is the current term, as of 2018, used by the World Allergy Organization [ 42 ] with some recommending that the old ...
This kind of adverse drug reaction is caused by the accumulation of toxic metabolites; it is not the result of an IgE-mediated reaction. The risk of first-degree relatives developing the same hypersensitivity reaction is higher than in the general population. [1]
