1. Do my symptoms suggest a drug allergy?
   
   
2. What methods will you use to determine if I have a drug allergy?
   
   
3. What may have caused me to develop this allergy?
   
   
4. Does this allergy pose a danger to my overall health?
   
   
5. What are my treatment options?
   
   
6. Will I have to completely avoid the drug I am allergic to?
   
   
7. Are there safe alternatives for the drug I am allergic to?
   
   
8. Am I a candidate for drug desensitization therapy?
   
   
9. Is it likely that I am allergic to other drugs as well?
   
   
10. Are my children more likely to develop drug allergies because I have the condition?
