Abstract

Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most prescribed drugs in the world. Although they are remarkably safe, with minimal adverse effects, it has rarely been reported as a cause of anaphylaxis. Hence, we report the case of a 69-year-old patient who experienced intravenous pantoprazole-induced anaphylaxis during peribulbar block anesthesia for mechanical vitrectomy.
