Is levofloxacin a sulfa drug?
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.

Sulfinyl is a component of Prilosec. I have a sulfa allergy and unwittingly took a Prilosec. I had swelling in the mouth, lips, larnyx and bottom. So, I'd say sulfinyl can cause an allergic reaction in a person with a sulfa drug allergy. There was nothing else to explain it.
