Topic: Allergy

Aspirin: I’m allergic to aspirin. What over-the-counter pain medication can I use?

Penicillin: If you are allergic to penicillin, can you take clindamycin 150 mg?

Phenylephrine: My favorite over-the-counter allergy medicine now has phenylephrine instead of pseudoephedrine. What's the difference? Will it work as well as the old formula?
