Abstract

Multiple drug allergy labels are increasingly encountered in clinical practice and are associated with therapeutic limitations, alternative suboptimal prescribing, and higher healthcare utilization. Specialized drug allergy clinics play a critical role in providing structured assessment, improving diagnostic precision, and optimizing patient management. This study describes the early experience of a dedicated Drug Allergy Clinic at Hamad General Hospital, focusing on patient characteristics, diagnostic approaches, outcomes, and operational challenges during the clinic’s first year.
