Hello, folks. I had a minor surgical procedure few weeks ago. After that, I got one dose of morphine. The next day, I got rash and now I suspect I am allergic to this drug. I would like to know what the best way is to check if I am allergic to morphine or other drugs. Thank you in advance.
Hello. It can happen that you are allergic to morphine. I know what my neighbor did to check this. She bought Solpadein. It is over the counter painkiller. It is similar to morphine and derivates. If you have some reaction to this, then it is quite possible you are allergic to morphine as well. In that way you should consult your doctor. He must know about this allergy of yours. Bye!
Hello there,
You must see your doctor. That is better solution than experimenting with medications, over the counter medications. You simply go to your doctor, explain him the situation and show him the rash. After that he will probably suggest to you allergen test. This is not painful and you will get your results pretty soon. After that you will know if you are allergic. If you are than you will have list of medications which you should avoid taking, and also this information will be implemented into your medical chart, so if something like this happens in the future you will be given substation for morphine.
I hope this was helpful, and that you will do real test and not experiment.
