Amoxicillin (c6)

Allergy to amoxicillin may occur due to diluents, especially novocaine; therefore, the optimal diluent is injection water. The risk of allergic reaction increases with prolonged or repeated antibiotic courses, especially if treatment starts less than 7 days after the previous course. Antibiotics may be incompatible with certain medications, such as blood pressure drugs (metoprolol, nebivolol, propranolol), increasing the risk of allergy. Heredity also plays a role: if parents had antibiotic allergies, the likelihood of the child developing one increases 15-fold. People with weakened immune systems, HIV-infected individuals, and cancer patients receiving cytostatic drugs should be especially cautious. A history of allergy is also a significant risk factor.

• Diagnosis of allergic reactions to amoxicillin.
• Assessment of sensitization level and risk of allergic reactions.
• Monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing therapy.
• Evaluation of sensitization level after allergen avoidance.
• Assessment of immune system status.

FEIA (Fluorescence Enzyme Immunoassay) – quantitative determination.

• Have blood drawn in the morning on an empty stomach or 4 hours after eating.
• Drinking plain still water is allowed.
• Do not smoke for 30 minutes before the test.
• Children under 1 year should not eat for 30-40 minutes before the test; children aged 1-5 years should fast for 2-3 hours.
