Selection of potentially triggering drugs
Explanation:
Rather than to a missing word, I think the text is to be understood in the context of a previous paragraph not shown here (?). By the way, I'm quite confident about "triggerinig" but not so as to the grammar of my proposal...

Auswahl potentiell ausloesender Medikamente
sth. missing here


Explanation:

...it seems, as if a word is missing here...

I would suggest that it says something like:
"Selection of drugs that potentially induce *allergenic* (for *Allergie auslösend*) or *hypersensitivity* reactions"...

...sorry: it should be "...induce/cause *allergic* reactions..."

"[beta]-Lactam antibiotics are among the most common drugs causing allergic reactions, with a prevalence of approximately 2% per course of therapy..."

Asker: Hello Harald, The drugs are • Acetylsalicylic acid • Ciprofloxacin • Cotrimoxazol • Metamizol • Mesalazin • Vitamin C

Asker: Here is a small excerpt from the case study: A glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDD) was suspected and subsequently confirmed within three days. Acetylsalicyclic acid, the most probable trigger, and other possible triggers like ciprofloxacine, metamizole, and cotrimoxazole were avoided;

Notes to answerer
Asker: There is no text here, really. As this is the title of a list. It has to do with allergenic drugs, though

Auswahl potentiell ausloesender Medikamente
Selection of potentially offending medications


Explanation:
The term 'offending' is often used in this context, particularly if no mention is made of allergic reactions (where 'medications that potentially elicit hypersensitivity reactions') It seems that the context here is not an allergic reaction but perhaps the formation of an ulcer or nausea and vomiting, in which case you would talk about the 'offender'.

Example sentence(s):
  • All the anti-inflammatory drugs caused gastric damage, the greatest offender being aspirin.
