The full form of NKDA is No known drug allergies
NKA is the abbreviation for “no known allergies,” meaning no known allergies of any sort. By contrast, NKDA stands exclusively for “no known drug allergies.”
If the abbreviation is not there and there is no notation of an allergy you know you have, let the healthcare provider know immediately. If, on the other hand, the notation is incorrect—say, you are allergic to latex and see “NKDA”—don’t be silent; query it.
