Dozens of drugs have a sulfa component to them. That means the molecule has a sulfonamide group, which is a sulfur atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms and an amine (a nitrogen and hydrogens). Originally, sulfa drugs were antibiotics invented in the 1930s which work by causing a fatal vitamin deficiency in bacteria. Many non-antibiotic drugs also include sulfa components, including many drugs for Diabetes, blood pressure/heart failure (furosemide), anti-inflammatory drugs like Celebrex, and drugs for urinary problems like Flomax. People with known Allergies to sulfa antibiotics should consult their doctor before taking any new medication containing sulfa.
