Why is it important?
To help avoid allergic reactions.
Perspectives
Where suspected culprits can be easily avoided, alternative drugs are available, provocation/challenge testing to clearly establish single drug/agent as the cause should not be pursued and it appropriate to leave more than one drug/agent as possible cause.
