Sulfate but no sulfite; they are quite different. Salbutamol (Albuterol Sulfate) is a rescue drug for Asthma Sodium Metabisulfite, (the preservative) if inhaled would kill someone with asthma.

When patients ask about "sulfa" drugs they usually intend to say "sulfonamide moiety containing" drugs. Pseudoephedrine does not contain the sulfonamide moiety and therefore would be safe for a patient with sulfonamide allergy, for example. Any patient with an individual concern (including but not limited to allergy) about their ability to consume sulfonamide or "sulfa" drugs should speak with their doctor or pharmacist.

No. Sulfate groups on molecules are different from sulfonamides (sulfa drugs).
