The abnormal allergic reaction by the body towards the administration of a medicine is called Drug allergy. Drug allergy or any allergic reactions are the response of our immune system towards that particular substance. Any type of drug may produce an allergy. In general, there are few known and common allergy-causing drugs which should be always used with a proper prescription. In Ayurveda, drug allergy is correlated to the concepts of “Gara Visha or Synthetic Poison” and “Viruddha” or Incompatible substances”.
