Drug/Medication Desensitization when appropriate

In the event that the patient does have a true allergy to a medication, and it is determined that the patient absolutely needs the medication and there are no alternatives available, upon consultation by prescribing physician, we are able to perform medication desensitization. Aspirin desensitization can be done in clinic. Depending on the nature of the drug or medication, and the inherent risks during the procedure, drug desensitization may require hospitalization in ICU with prior authorization from insurance and an accepting admitting physician (i.e., for chemotherapy). This would be discussed at initial clinic consultation.
