pseudoallergen term

pseudoallergen term

I think the term pseudoallergen is outdated. It may have been appropriate 2 decades ago, but now that the non-allergic mechanism of several reaction types is know, the term is no longer appropriate. NSAIDs and ACE Inhibitors cause reactions by different mechanisms and should be listed as such, not under pseudoallergen.
