Sulfa allergies are allergies to a family of drugs called sulfonamides. Some sulfonamides are antibiotics, while others are not. Interestingly, people who are allergic to antibiotic sulfonamides are not necessarily allergic to non-antibiotic sulfonamides. Sulfa antibiotics carry about a 3% risk of an adverse reaction, which is similar to the incidence rate of penicillin allergies. Also noteworthy is that some people are more likely to have sulfa allergies than others, including people with metabolic and immune disorders.

Sulfa drug allergies are dangerous because sulfonamides are such common medications and the reactions can be life threatening. In an accident or emergency situation, medical ID jewelry can inform EMTs and ER physicians of your allergy(ies), allowing them to avoid compounding an emergency situation with a potentially negative reaction and focus on treating the issue at hand.
