1 Conflict of Interest No Hives About It: An Evidence Based Approach to Managing Patients with a History of Drug Allergies Bryan D. Hayes, PharmD, DABAT, FAACT Clinical Pharmacy pecialist, EM & Toxicology Neither presenter has (nor does any immediate family member have) a vested interest in or affiliation with a corporate organization offering financial support or grant monies for this continuing education activity, or any affiliation with an organization whose philosophy could potentially bias the presentation. John Patka, PharmD, BCP Clinical pecialist, Emergency Medicine Objectives Design an antimicrobial plan to include cephalosporins, given a patient with a documented penicillin allergy Evaluate the risk of prescribing a sulfa based, non antimicrobial medication, given a patient with a listed sulfa antibiotic allergy Evaluate the risk of prescribing an opiate or opioid medication, given a patient with a reported history of opiate allergy Evaluate the risk of prescribing contrast media and alternative treatments, given a patient with a contrast media or iodine allergy The Engagement is Off! Busting the Beta Lactam ing and Other Antimicrobial Cross eactivity Myths Bryan D.
