Anaphylactic-like Reactions to Zomepirac

Abstract

The authors report two cases of anaphylactic reaction to zomepirac. A brief discussion of anaphylactic reactions to other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, for example, tolmetin and sulindac, is included. The authors note that first exposure to the NSAIDs usually produces few, if any, adverse effects in patients who later suffer severe reactions.
