Abstract
Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most frequently prescribed group of medicines. Their safety profile is poor as they can induce several dangerous side effects and hypersensitivity. In this paper historical aspects, an up-to-date classification of hypersensitivity reactions, patomechanism, clinical presentation and diagnostic procedures have been described. Management of patients sensitive to NSAIDs has been discussed, as well.
