We have an approximately once-monthly oral challenge test in the HKU Health System Clinical Centre next to our pharmacy at 3 Sassoon Road. You will be seeing nurses and a specialist in immunology and allergy, together with 4-8 clients, as one group for this oral challenge.

 

Before joining this oral challenge, the pharmacist will have a first screening with you to assess your eligibility, which takes around 30-45 minutes. We will then review your case with a specialist in immunology and allergy to confirm your eligibility for the oral challenge within 1-2 weeks.

 

Once you are classified as “low risk” participants, you are welcome to join our penicillin allergy oral-challenge assessment. However if you are classified as “moderate to high risk” participants, that means you are not eligible to initiate an oral challenge. We could provide a letter of reference for your situation and you may seek for further medical assessment to evaluate for the need of penicillin allergy assessment.
