Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Any medication can cause allergic reaction. Specific components in certain brands could cause it.
2. However, meet your doctor immediately for change of brand or medication.
3. If its severe, stop it. Anaphylaxis is dangerous. Meet your doctor soon.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
