Best Answer

The correct term is "sulfa" drug. It's a drug that contains the sulfonamide moiety. Most sulfa drugs are antimicrobials, though some are used for other purposes (some diuretics contain sulfonamide, for example).

Is Sodium Hydrochloric Acid a sulfur drug?

No, for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, there's no such chemical as sodium hydrochloric acid.However, there's sodium. And there's hydrochloric acid. And you could theoretically mix the two, though what you'd get would be salt water and probably a fire when the hydrogen that's being given off ignites, but there wouldn't be any sulfur in it. (Also, it's sulfa drug (short for sulfonamide), not "sulfur drug" ... though that's a minor point; they do in fact contain sulfur.)

Took it for the 10 days with no problems.
