KEY POINTS
Most patients who report a penicillin allergy do not have a serious allergy.
Penicillin allergy delabelling enables patients to receive penicillin and β-lactam antibiotics when indicated.
A simple algorithm allows for stratification of allergy risk for patients.
Patients at low risk of a serious allergic reaction can undergo an oral penicillin challenge in sexual health clinics and other primary care settings.
