# C002-IgE Penicillin V

> This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in your blood specifically directed against Penicillin V, a common antibiotic. It helps show whether your immune system recognizes this drug as a threat, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives or swelling after taking medication. Doctors use this result to help distinguish a potential drug allergy from other types of adverse reactions. However, this test cannot predict the severity of a future reaction or identify allergies to other antibiotics on its own.
