What is it:
Allergen RAST C (Drugs) are specialized tests for detecting allergic reactions to drugs through quantitative measurement of IgE antibodies against the allergen.
Where it is used:
The quantitative measurement of antibodies indicates the intensity of the allergic reaction against the allergen, ranging from “negative” to “extremely intense.”
there use enables:
- Diagnosing and accurately evaluating which specific allergen the body is sensitive to.
- Monitoring the intensity of the allergic reaction over time.
The selection can be made in combination with multiple allergens of this category as well as other categories. This category includes RAST tests for:
c1 | PENICILLIN G |
c2 | PENICILLIN V |
c51 | ACETYL SALICYLIN ACID |
c55 | CEPHALOSPORIN |
c59 | TETRACYCLIN |
c60 | GENTAMYSIN |
c61 | ERYTHROMYCIN |

The RAST C test for drug allergens is an important tool in the field of allergy. Through this test, it is possible to detect allergic reactions to specific drugs and take necessary measures to manage these reactions.
The RAST C test procedure involves analyzing the patient’s blood for the presence of antibodies produced in response to specific drugs. The blood sample is taken and sent to the laboratory, where it is analyzed using special assays to detect the antibodies. The antibody reactions with the drug allergens are evaluated and reported to the patient and their physician.
The analysis of the RAST C test provides significant information about the body’s allergic reactions to specific drugs. This allows physicians to predict possible reactions to future treatments and adjust medication prescriptions accordingly. Additionally, knowledge of drug allergic reactions is crucial to avoid potential serious health impacts on the patient.
Managing the results of the RAST C test is important for patient safety. In case of positive results, the physician should inform the patient about their allergic reactions and guide them to alternative treatments or drugs that do not cause adverse reactions. Moreover, it is important to record the allergic reactions in the patient’s medical history to avoid future episodes.
In summary, the RAST C test for drug allergens is an essential tool for managing allergies in the healthcare field. Through the detection and evaluation of allergic reactions to drugs, it allows physicians to offer safe and effective treatments to their patients.
