Brief Answer:
Allergy to these medications is rare!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

It very unlikely to get allergies from these medications. Though persons report allergies, a huge majority never do. They are equally safe and the only guidance choosing one over the other is what your disease condition is and which is better to treat it. Have you ever had allergies before? If so, report to me and I will see if there is a possibility of cross allergies with the various drugs you used before.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
