It is not because many of the anti-inflammatory drugs allergies are available as self-medication (eye drops, nasal spray, tablets) that it should be concluded that over-the-counter products are free from the risk of causing an allergic reaction. Each organism reacts differently to the administration of a foreign substance. And any drug, even the most trivial, can hold unpleasant surprises. As proof, Hugo (8 years old), victim of gastroenteritis on August 15, on his vacation spot. His mother goes to the on-call pharmacy to try to calm the painful vomiting of the little boy, the pharmacist explains to him that many anti-nausea drugs require a prescription and gives him a medication quite common supposed to fight against motion sickness. Bad luck, Hugo immediately triggers an allergic reaction to the product, with giant urticaria and generalized edema, which requires rushing to the doctor on call! It is seldom possible to foresee such a mishap.
On the other hand, people who know they have an allergic tendency should be particularly wary. And above all, after a first incident, note the name of the drug in question, as well as all its ingredients (including excipients). An essential precaution to then avoid taking the same substance by carefully consulting the components of each treatment.
