Alergias farmacológicas - Symptom

Nombres alternativos

Reacción alérgica a un fármaco (medicamento); Hipersensibilidad farmacológica; Hipersensibilidad a medicamentos

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. Infortunadamente, no existen buenas pruebas cutáneas o de sangre para ayudar a diagnosticar otras alergias farmacológicas. Si usted ha tenido síntomas similares a alergias después de tomar un medicamento o de recibir un medio de contraste (tinte) antes de tomarle una radiografía, el médico a menudo le dirá que esto prueba que usted tiene una reacción alérgica. No se requieren pruebas adicionales.
