“Sulfa” allergies are a commonly listed allergen. Each time we see this, we have to mentally or physically review the list of medications that contain “sulfa” as the many are not intuitive. Here, we evaluate whether non-antibiotic “sulfa” containing medications are safe to give those in patients with previous reactions to “sulfa” antibiotics.
