When leuprolide acetate is essential to care: A review of the literature and framework for assessing drug allergy

Abstract

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists are uncommonly associated with hypersensitivity reactions. To date, there have been few reports of these cases by allergists and no clear published protocols on testing. Here, we report the case of a patient who had a potential reaction to leuprolide acetate depot and a framework for assessing for drug hypersensitivity with the available literature in mind.
