About Allergy Tests

Allergy Test for Medications: Protect Your Health

A hair allergy test changed my life. Traditional testing didn’t identify sensitivities to milk protein and lactose—ingredients that are surprisingly common in medications, even allergy medications. That’s why I created RxAllergyScan, which helps you check for these hidden allergens using trusted RxNorm data.


Why Standard Allergy Tests Miss the Mark

Typical allergy panels focus on: Pollen, Dust mites, Pet dander, Mold and Latex but they often overlook potential food-derived ingredients that appear in many medications, such as: Milk derivatives (lactose, casein), Corn starch, Gelatin, Soy or coloring agents. These ingredients can trigger reactions even when your food allergies are mild.


The Hidden Gaps in Medical Testing

Most physicians rely on standard allergy screenings designed for environmental triggers—not for medication excipients (inactive ingredients).

This means:

  • Food allergens are rarely included in typical testing panels.

  • Medication ingredients aren’t usually cross-checked for sensitivities.

  • Extra testing for these allergens must often be requested.

A specialized hair-based allergy test for medications helped me uncover sensitivities that traditional tests missed.


Why Knowing Matters

  • Avoid unexpected drug reactions.
