📋Overview
Drug allergies are immune system reactions triggered by certain medications. The term 'drug allergy' refers to hypersensitivity reactions mediated by the immune system, distinct from non-immune adverse drug reactions. These reactions can range from mild skin rashes to severe, potentially life-threatening conditions. The modern preferred terminology includes 'drug hypersensitivity reactions' and 'immunologically mediated drug reactions.'
