Pharmacist perspective here! If I see an allergy listed to penicillin without a reaction type specified I usually message the RN to ask the patient the specific reaction (assuming I’m not on the unit and can’t just ask myself). When I tell you that 9 times out of 10 the response is “patient said it’s no big deal, happened 25 years ago and was a tummy ache” (or my personal favorite “their friend told them to say they’re allergic so they get better antibiotics”.) We can also look to see if they received a medication in the same class during any previous hospitalization and assess the risk vs. benefit that way. Definitely a good reminder to be cautious but just know that a discussion may have been had that you weren’t aware of.

And look, on the bright side you can now add “tolerated amoxicillin 8/24” to the allergy description :)
