So I’m allergic to sulfa in antibiotics.
The only diabetes meds I can afford can trigger an allergic response if allergic to sulfa.
Now I’m scared to start my new medicine but I need it. Ugh!
I didn’t know what sulfa was so I looked it up:
“Sulfa” is short for sulfonamides, a class of drugs that consists mostly of antibiotics. It’s also contained in other medications. Antibiotics are medications you take for bacterial infections. Sulfa drugs work by preventing bacteria from producing a substance they need to grow and multiply.
That’s fuc ked up. They should have to give you non allergic drugs

I can only afford the ones that are related to sulfa. It doesn’t always trigger an allergy but sometimes does
