Q: What is the name of the test for drug allergies?

I am allergic to a great many antibiotics and other medicines. My doctor wants me tested for drug allergies. The allergy group she sent me to said they can't test for drug allergies. I told both my doctor and the allergy group that Dr. Dean Edell had talked about a test for allergies for medicines that takes 1/2 hour. Both of my doctors wants to know the name of the drug test.

I appreciate your response as I am worried that if a time came that I need to take an antibiotic I could be in serious trouble.

Thank you.
