• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  We are trained to ask our patients what medication allergies they have, but do we ask what other allergies they may have? There are nine major food allergens, many of which can appear in medications as inactive ingredients. These allergens can have detrimental effects on patients who are allergic to these items, so it is important for us as healthcare practitioners to be able to identify when allergens are present and to recommend alternative medications as appropriate.
