no. According to my research, you can use Diprivan for patients with sulfa allergy because it doesn't contain sodium bisulfite. The generic form of Propofol does contain bisulfite in it. However, more recent generic Propofol contains benyl alcohol instead of bisulfite to reduce bacterial growth in the vial. Bottom line: Look at ingredients of Propofol before giving to sulfa allergic patients.
