Allergic Reaction? I.v. medication.?
I was a patient in the hospital just now and was administered a medication by i.v. which caused such intense itching at the site of the needle that they have to stop the i.v. I don't recall the name of the medication.
My question is if that be the reaction does it mean I might become allergic to the medication next time I receive it? I sort of have a sneaking suspicion that itching is a reaction and not an allergy. Can someone tell me if I am right or was the intense itching an allergic sensitivity.
Thanks.
Answers: That's an allergic reaction. I would find out the name of the med, because you necessitate to know. Allergies can get worse. It could randomly kill you if you took it again
Are you on any other medications? I had that develop to me once. They gave me Levaquin which reacts with my Celexa and my arm and vein started turning red and itching. If you're not on any other meds, you should know that itching is a common side effect of medicines. I am allergic to vicodan and it makes me itchy. Sometimes those side effects will eventually budge away, or if you need to take the medicine the doctor might recommend taking Benadryl beside it. IF it is an allergic reaction the same thing will come to pass EVERY time you have that medicine in your body. So you call for to find out the name of it.
You should ask your doctor. The information in the chart will help your doctor determine if it was a cynical reaction or a true allergy. Either way, you need to determine what it be so you can avoid receiving the med again.
