چکیده
Results Forty-one patients were tested, all with negative results. Thirty seven of them (90%) were contacted and 28 (76%) remembered the tested drug’s name. Twelve of them (32%) had used the drug again without any reaction. Twenty five patients were not re-exposed: 18 did not need, 4 were afraid of a new reaction and 3 used another alternative. Of the 4 patients who were afraid to use the drug again, 3 of them had presented anaphylaxis symptoms with other NSAIDs.
