Abstract:
Inaccurate penicillin allergy labeling may deter healthcare providers from initiating appropriate therapy and contribute to antibiotic resistance.

The results confirm opportunity to further evaluate and improve current practice for allergy assessment.

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
