Penicillin Allergy Testing
Most people labeled penicillin-allergic actually aren't. Our 2-step testing protocol confirms or removes the label, opening up safer, more effective antibiotics.
Overview
Many people labeled penicillin-allergic are not truly allergic. Skin testing and, when negative, an oral challenge can safely delabel most and allow use of penicillin when needed.
process
- Review of your reaction history
- Skin testing with penicillin reagents (major and minor determinants)
- If skin test negative: graded oral challenge with amoxicillin
- Documentation of result and communication to your providers
benefits
- Safer use of first-line antibiotics when appropriate
- Fewer broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Clearer records for future care
