Wellness Wednesday – Allergic to Medications? Understanding Drug Allergies and Reactions

Join us for our next Wellness Wednesday as we welcome expert physician Allison Ramsey, specializing in Allergy and Immunology at Rochester Regional Health.

Dr. Ramsey’s research and clinical expertise focus on drug allergies, an area that often causes confusion and concern for many patients. She will help us better understand how drug allergies are diagnosed, when they are truly dangerous, and when people may be able to safely take medications they?ve been avoiding.

During this talk, Dr. Ramsey will discuss common medication allergies, including:
• Penicillin and other antibiotics
• Sulfonamide antibiotics (?sulfa? medications)
• Reactions to contrast dye used for imaging studies such as CT scans
The session will conclude with an open Q&A, so bring your questions about seasonal allergies, medication reactions, food allergies, and other allergy-related concerns.

This is a great opportunity to learn practical, evidence-based information from a local expert and get your allergy questions answered.
