  • Title: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug desensitization using flurbiprofen (Ansaid).
    Author: Douglas DM, Ward L, Brown JS.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1993 Nov; 71(5):459-60. PubMed ID: 8250352.
    Abstract:
    Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and aspirin reactions remain commonplace. Specific recommendations and standardized approaches to the use of NSAIDs in patients with known hypersensitivity to these agents are evolving. Cross reactivity and sensitization are frequent within this group of agents. The advent of newer synthetic nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs may offer a means of lowering reaction rates. Flurbiprofen (Ansaid) is a new NSAID for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. We report successful flurbiprofen desensitization with incremental oral challenge in a patient using this agent.
