Pure lauryl ammonium sulfate is not and does not contain sulfa drugs.
Unlikely. Many compounds in your body contain sulfur, an element. Sulpha, or sulfa, refers to a class of antibiotics. It would be like being allergic to carbon or nitrogen.
No. I am allergic to Sulpha drugs and I can take levofloxacin.
Keflex is not a sulpha drug.
No, Ritalin is does not contain sulfa and does not even have a sulfur atom within its structure to form the basis of sulpha. There are a number of medications besides antibiotics which do contain sulpha groups and which should be avoided by people with such allergies, but Ritalin is not one of them.
I am allergic to sulpha and told this to the ER doctor and they prescribed this for me. I am not a medical expert and have now knowledge of medicine, but with that information I don't think they would prescribe this medicine with full knowledge the person taking it was allergic to sulpha. Took it for the 10 days with no problems.
Yes, Lasix ( furosemide) does contain the compound sulfonamide in its molecular structure, so it has sulfa in it; however, it is usually considered to be a drug related to the sulfa drugs rather than a true sulfa drug. People who are allergic to sulfa may have a allergice reaction to Lasix but the chance is much smaller than to a true sulfa drug like an antibiotic in that family.
what is sulpha heamoglobin
It's an antibiotic.
Sulfur is a chemical element (S).The so-called "sulpha" drugs contain sulfur in the molecule.
Yes, they sure can. Bactrim, which is a sulpha drug, is known to cause allergic reactions and can cause swelling of the mouth and face, mouth sores, skin reactions, fever, and more. Sulpha reactions also have cause fatal reactions called Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
For anyone who is has a sulfa allergy, it is important to know which prescription or non-prescription medications are sulfa-based. If you are suffering from any type of bacterial infection, be sure to tell your doctor about your allergy. The reason is that one of the popular options, the Zithromax z-pak, is sulfa-based and may cause a severe allergic reaction.
