Drug allergies are an allergic reaction to medications. It’s when your body’s immune system overreacts to medications.

The next time you ingest that drug, your immune system releases antibodies to remove it from your body.

A drug allergy can be deadly. If you or a loved one have severe drug allergy symptoms, including swelling of your tongue or throat, trouble breathing, a fast heartbeat, lightheadedness or unconsciousness, you must act quickly:

Call 911 or your local emergency
