An allergic reaction is the body's way of responding to a foreign substance. When the immune system is triggered in an attempt to protect the body, a hypersensitivity reaction (allergic reaction) occurs. According to the Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), approximately 17 million individuals visit a physician due to allergic reactions each year. In rare cases, an allergic reaction can be life-threatening.

Although allergic reactions occur for various reasons, many are a result of a chemical substance in the body, including medication. Avandia, a type 2 diabetes drug, is known to cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
