Allergy-Drug Panel is an allergy screening test done:
- To measure the IgE-mediated response to 8 commonly used drugs.
- To determine the exact drug component that is causing an allergic reaction.
- To evaluate the allergen behind the anaphylactic shock.
Drug allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 8 common drug components. These include Penicillin V, Penicillin G, Human Insulin, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Ciprofloxacin, and Sulfa.
Total IgE levels are also measured. Further tests to a specific allergen will help in further diagnosis.
Drug allergy test requires a blood sample post exposure to the drug panel. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
Positive allergy test results should be discussed with a doctor to determine the next steps.
