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.

∙ 13y agoPseudoephedrine is a decongestant and stimulant. Sulfa drugs are antibiotics.
Actually there are non-antibiotic sulfa drugs as well (e.g. antihypertensives, Diabetes drugs, pain relievers, migraine drugs, and siezure drugs), but they are generally less likely to cause an allergic reaction than the antibiotics in a sulfa-allergic individual. You should always consult with a medical professional if you have a question about whether a drug contains sulfa.

∙ 11y agoNo, hydrogen sulfide is a gas containing a sulfur atom attached to two hydrogens. Sulfa drugs contain a sulfur group bound to two oxygens, a nitrogen (which is bound to two organic groups) and an organic group. Hydrogen sulfide is produced in the body normally and acts as a neurotransmitter.
