Prevention and Treatment of Drug Allergies

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 63))

Abstract

The problem of prevention and therapy of allergic reactions to drugs is complex and not yet satisfactorily resolved. Measures to reduce the incidence of allergic reactions to drugs may be taken at several levels, for instance by the manufacturer, the treating physician, or the patient himself.
