As we wrap up 2025, we’re proud of another impactful year helping to advance awareness of penicillin allergies. By helping patients and clinicians verify allergy labels, we’re working to provide better standards of care for everyone.
This #NationalPenicillinAllergyDay, make it a commitment to ensure your patients are still accurately labeled.
Patients with a reported penicillin allergy had a 50% increased risk of surgical site infection, attributable to the receipt of second-line perioperative antibiotics.
As #NationalPenicillinAllergyDay approaches, we raise awareness on #PenicillinAllergy misdiagnosis. Patients labeled penicillin-allergic can be at a higher risk of certain adverse events; retesting is essential to optimizing care.
