Frequently asked questions

What is anaphylaxis?

Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs rapidly. It can cause breathing difficulties, swelling, and a drop in blood pressure. Common triggers include food, insect stings, and medication. Immediate treatment with adrenaline (epinephrine) and emergency care is essential

What are the main symptoms of anaphylaxis?

Symptoms of anaphylaxis include swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, wheezing, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. Skin reactions, such as rashes or hives, may also occur. Without prompt treatment, anaphylaxis can lead to shock or cardiac arrest.

How is anaphylaxis treated?

The primary treatment for anaphylaxis is an adrenaline injection (EpiPen) into the outer thigh. This helps reverse symptoms by opening airways and stabilising blood pressure. Emergency services should be called immediately, and the individual should be monitored for further reactions.
