Allergic to antibiotic pill? Is this even possible?

“NTA. Unless your roommate plans to take your cat’s medicine or tongue kiss your cat right after she takes the medicine he will be fine. To be extra careful he should refrain from touching the medicine or the cat’s litter until it has cleared her system (and that’s overkill, imo, but better safe than sorry). One of you can call a pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if it’s possible for your roommate to have a reaction to an oral medication just by being near or touching the pet who takes it if it’s really that concerning to him.”

NTA. Allergic roommate needs to respect cat’s medication boundaries.
