Is Chlorthalidone a sulfa drug?

No. Sulfa drugs are usually a type of antiobiotics (such as trimethoprim-sulfamethaxazole). The "sulfate" in morphine sulfate just means that the morphine is bound to a salt of sulphuric acid. antibiotic sulfonamides are different structurally from the non-antibiotic sulfonamides, and appear to be much more likely to result in allergic reactions. Many of the sulfa non-antibiotics, therefore, do not cause problems in people with sulfa antibiotic allergy, although some people who are very sensitive may have a problem, it is unlikely. If you have a problem with dietary sulfites found in many foods, you may have a problem with drugs, such as morphine sulfate. Some people have a problem with sulfites in foods and drugs, such as morphine sulfate, yet are OK with antibiotic sulfa drugs. It is best to discuss your concerns with your doctor.
