Question 1 of 15

That is incorrect. The statement is true.

Overdose reactions are dose related and allergic reactions are NOT dose related.

When overdose reactions develop, there was a large enough amount of the drug adminstered to the patient leading to excessive blood levels in the target organ or tissues. On the other hand, a patient with an allergy to a local anesthetic can have an allergic reaction with an extremely minute amount of the drug.
