Question : Hi. My doctor prescribed fortifikat forte for the liver. He said it's a little to fat and that this should help. It's made out of lecithin soia. I just took the first pill. I have some anxiety issues with allergic reactions, even though i don't have any allergies. But same issue every time i take a new pill. After how long do the symptoms of a reaction appears? I hope you can understand my concern. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Allergic drug reactions are of two types.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM, Yes, I do understand your concern.

Allergic drug reactions are of two types. One, that is due to severe intolerance and will manifest immediately. This is an auto immune reaction of the body that recognizes something as 'foreign' and harmful.

The second type is a milder intolerance or allergy and can manifest at any time, sometimes even after several years of taking a drug. This is because it is waiting for the right conducive atmosphere in the body like a lowered state of immunity, intake of multiple drugs, aging or severe acidity.
In your case, since there has not been an immediate reaction to fortifikat forte, even if you do develop one later, it will be milder.
Hope I have been of help. Regards
