AB Adverse  effects  associated  with  antimicrobials  occur  primarily  in  three  circumstances:  side  effects  with  therapeutic  dosing,  acute  toxicity  resulting  from  excessive  dosing,  and  subacute  to  chronic  effects  from  sustained  therapeutic  use.  Side  effects  can  be  immunologic  (allergic)  or  nonimmunologic  (pharmacologic  or  idiosyncratic)  in  nature.  Antibiotics  cause  more  reported  allergic  reactions  than  other  drugs,  possibly  due  to  their  high  frequency  of  use  that  is  often  in  a  repeated  and  interrupted  fashion.  Sometimes  a  diluent  or  other  chemical  constituent  in  the  formulation  of  a  drug  causes  the  adverse  effect.
