Is levofloxacin a sulfa drug?

Yes, Lasix ( furosemide) does contain the compound sulfonamide in its molecular structure, so it has sulfa in it; however, it is usually considered to be a drug related to the sulfa drugs rather than a true sulfa drug. People who are allergic to sulfa may have a allergice reaction to Lasix but the chance is much smaller than to a true sulfa drug like an antibiotic in that family.

Should sulfate in hygenine products be avoided if a person is allergic to sulfa?

Sulfates found in hygiene products, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, are different from sulfonamide drugs, which are commonly used in sulfa medications. An allergy to sulfa drugs does not necessarily mean a person will also be allergic to sulfates in hygiene products. However, if there is a concern about a potential reaction, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider or allergist.

Is Erythromycin a sulfa drug?

I am not aware of a drug called arthromycin. (I am a licensed pharmacist, so if it existed, I would know.) Do you mean azithromycin (brand name Zithromax) or erythromycin? Neither of those drugs contain "sulfa". If you have a sulfa allergy, you will be fine with these medications.

For anyone who is has a sulfa allergy, it is important to know which prescription or non-prescription medications are sulfa-based.

The reason is that one of the popular options, the Zithromax z-pak, is sulfa-based and may cause a severe allergic reaction.

Can sulfinyl cause the same type as a sulfa drug allergy?

Sulfinyl is a component of Prilosec. I have a sulfa allergy and unwittingly took a Prilosec. I had swelling in the mouth, lips, larnyx and bottom. So, I'd say sulfinyl can cause an allergic reaction in a person with a sulfa drug allergy. There was nothing else to explain it.
