We are proud to offer a Penicillin Allergy Delabeling Clinic for our patients.
Many children are labeled allergic to medications like penicillin, amoxicillin, or Augmentin based on past reactions that may not represent a true allergy. This label can limit treatment options in the future. Our goal in this clinic is to safely evaluate and, when appropriate, remove inaccurate allergy labels.
Why this matters:
Removing an incorrect penicillin allergy allows your child to receive the most effective, first-line antibiotics when needed.
It also helps reduce the use of broader-spectrum medications which can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
By offering this clinic in-house, we can improve access to care for our patients.
Who may be eligible:
Children 2 years and older
Children who had a reaction after 48 hours of taking penicillin, amoxicillin, or Augmentin
Who is not eligible:
Children who have experienced:
Anaphylaxis to any antibiotic
Hives in the first 24 hours of the first dose of any antibiotic
Serum sickness
Positive penicillin skin test
