Mechanism of action
This is a diagnostic procedure rather than a therapeutic drug. It involves administering incrementally increasing doses of amoxicillin orally under medical supervision to evaluate whether a patient has a true IgE-mediated allergic reaction or can safely tolerate the antibiotic. The graded approach allows clinicians to identify the threshold dose at which an allergic reaction occurs, if any, enabling accurate allergy classification and guiding future antibiotic selection.
