Medical Allergies – Communicate them With Your Healthcare Provider

Did you know that you could suffer a serious health condition or even death as a result of an allergy to a medication?  For example, if you are allergic to penicillin, you could suffer anaphylactic shock if given penicillin to treat your medical condition.  It is extremely important to track allergies to medications; it is also important to track allergies to environmental triggers or foods.


For example, if you are allergic to shellfish or peanuts and suddenly end up unconscious, it is important for emergency personnel to know about your allergies.  Knowing about environmental, drug or food allergies can change the treatment protocol. When emergency personnel have access to complete medical record, they can make informed medical decisions.


Lifesaver App creates an online medical record that tracks allergies to medications, food and environmental triggers.
