Abstract
Adverse reactions to drugs have been classified as predictable (related to the pharmacologic actions of the drug) and unpredictable (related to the individual's immunologic response or genetic susceptibility). The term "drug hypersensitivity" refers to the symptoms or signs initiated by an exposure to a drug at a dose normally tolerated by nonhypersensitive persons. In this article, the current knowledge on hypersensitivity reactions to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs is discussed.
