Yes, an allergic reaction can develop to a medication even if you have not taken it recently on subsequent exposure.

Yes!! See your Primary Health-care Physician.....OK??!!!!
As you can see, the majority of doctors answering this question say, yes.

When the body wants or utilizes a substance it will not usually react to it in an allergic way. If the body can no longer utilize a substance it may over time or immediately reject it or create an allergic reaction. Treating the signs, signals and symptoms of an underlining cause with drugs; metformin specifically, will never get to the cause. Eventually, you risk becoming allergic to the drug. It appears this is happening to you. Type 2 diabetes is usually related to ones diet and lack of exercise. Address those two issues and you may drastically reduce your need for drugs or possibly get off of them all together. After 44 years studying and teaching natural healing and natural medicine, I can tell you Type 2 diabetes is absolutely curable. Keep searching for the answer and you will find it...

The allergic reaction to a medication is the result of the body trying to rid it from your system because it is toxic. Try drinking 4 liters of 9.5 alkaline water and improve your bowel movements to 4 to 6 every day and you will feel much better. For the stone in the salivatory gland that is the solidification of metabolic and/or dietary acid. I would suggest dissolving it with an alkaline diet as described in my book The pH Miracle. Start with the total body cleanse as outlined in Chapter 11.
It is possible to develop an allergy from prescription meds. If your body is toxic that may trigger an allergic reaction. You may want to consider a colon cleanse, as well as consulting with your physician to change your prescription.

Yes it is possible, but an allergist would need more information to determine whether it is a true allergy or a side effect of the medication.
The answer is yes. Our immune system changes over time for reasons not always understood, Your story is fairly common in an allergy practice.

Yes - depending on what is going on with your health and lifestyle, this is possible. With increased stress, your cortisol levels increase and if this is ongoing for a prolonged period of time, months to years, you can have new allergies and symptoms you did not have before.
