If I am allergic to sulfa (bactrim) can I still take Diamox?

by Admin on August 12, 2010

I get a reaction just touching the pill, powder, or liquid. I don’t have to ingest it. When I do take it I start itching so bad, that I scratch until I bleed before the rash ever appears.

Call your pharmacist and they can tell you if there is any sulfur in it. I also have a sulfur allergy and I always double check with my pharmacist.

You may also get an allergic reaction to Diamox. It is a sulpha based drug.
