- Diuretics (water pills): The risk for sulfa-containing diuretic medications causing reactions in sulfa-allergic patients is low. Many diuretic medications, such as hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and furosemide (Lasix) are sulfa-based, while ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) is not.

Sulfa drugs and the skin These drugs have no relationship to sulfonamide allergy. However sulfhydryl containing drugs can cause unrelated adverse skin reactions such as a rash or pemphigus (a rare autoimmune blistering disease). Sulfates are also commonly found in soaps and cosmetics; allergies to sulfates are extremely rare. Sulfites are chemicals used as preservatives in food and drugs, e.g. sulfur dioxide and sodium sulfite. Allergy to sulfite preservatives can cause anaphylaxis, other rashes, asthma, seizures and death. People with asthma are at higher risk of sulfite allergy.

Sulfite Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion SO 3 2− . The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, its salts are widely used.Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body.ulfites are used as a food preservative or enhancer. They may come in various forms, such as: 1  Sulfur dioxide, which is not a sulfite, but a closely related chemical oxide. 2  Potassium bisulfite or potassium metabisulfite.

Sulfonamide (medicine) Sulfonamide (medicine) Hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide and a thiazide. Furosemide is a sulfonamide, but not a thiazide. Sulfonamide (also called sulphonamide, sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) is the basis of several groups of drugs. The original antibacterial sulfonamides are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group. Some sulfonamides are also devoid of antibacterial activity, e.g., the anticonvulsant sultiame.

List of Foods for Sulfite Sensitivity Processed Foods. Manufacturers add sulfites to processed foods as a preservative and to improve its appearance. All cheeses contain some sulfites, which develop during the aging process. Maraschino cherries, pickled onions, wine vinegar, pickles, olives and condiments such as horseradish might also contain sulfites.Jams, jellies, foods containing gelatin, maple syrup, corn syrup and dried-soup mixes can contain sulfites.estaurant salad bars were once a major source of sulfites. Sulfite sensitivity affects around 1 percent of Americans, according to the University of Florida.

Mercaptopurine 1 Certain medications are contraindicated when taking mercaptopurine. 2  Medications used to treat ulcerative colitis (olsalazine, mesalamine, sulfasalazine) interfere with how mercaptopurine works and may increase the toxicities experienced. 3  If you are being treated for ulcerative colitis discuss this risk with your doctor. If you are on warfarin (Coumadin) as a blood-thinner, adjustments may need to be made to your dose based on blood work. 2  Allopurinol (Zyloprim) a medication used to treat gout (high uric acid levels) may increase the toxicity seen with mercaptopurine.

- Patients who are allergic to sulfa and require a diuretic (“water”) pill have several options. In general, the sulfa contained in antibiotic drugs has a slightly different chemical structure than the sulfa compounds found in diuretics. As a result, people who are allergic to sulfa antibiotics may be able to take a sulfa-containing diuretic without experiencing a reaction. For patients who are allergic to sulfa-containing diuretics, doctors sometimes prescribe triamterene, spironolactone, amiloride, or ethacrynic acid.
