In this age of antibiotic resistance, an allergy to penicillin leads to the prescription of more expensive, less effective antibiotics often with bothersome side effects. If your allergic reaction is considered low risk, a rash or itching for example, there is a simple test that can be done without skin pricks or blood work, saving you the long wait to see a specialist.

 

If you are interested in being tested, please contact the North Perth Family Health Team to pick-up a survey or you can download it HERE.  Once completed, please drop off your survery to the front desk at the Clinic.
