Alergias a medicamentos - Síntomas

Nombres alternativos

Reacción alérgica a una droga (medicamento)

Síntomas:

Los síntomas de una anafilaxia son, entre otros:

Signos y exámenes:

Un examen de la piel y de la cara puede mostrar ronchas, erupción o angioedema (hinchazón de los labios, cara o lengua). La reducción de la presión arterial, las sibilancias y otros signos pueden indicar una reacción anafiláctica.

Las pruebas cutáneas pueden confirmar la alergia a medicamentos de tipo penicilina. Las pruebas para otros medicamentos pueden ser ineficaces o peligrosas en algunos casos. Los antecedentes de reacciones de tipo alérgico posteriores al uso de un medicamento suelen ser considerados prueba suficiente de una alergia a dicho medicamento y no se requieren exámenes adicionales. Lo mismo se aplica a otras sustancias que no se consideran medicamentos, pero que se utilizan en los hospitales, como los medios de contraste para rayos X.
