Penicillin Allergy Testing:
Are you really allergic to penicillin? The majority of adults and children with a penicillin allergy are likely to tolerate penicillin and should undergo a penicillin allergy evaluation.
Why is this important?
- Penicillin-based antibiotics are less expensive and first-line therapy for treating many common bacterial infections.
- Second-line antibiotics can be less effective, more costly, carry more side effects, and increase risk for antimicrobial resistance.
