Probably not a problem, but be sure to ask the doctor. People allergic to sulfa drugs are not necessarily allergic to other types of sulfur compounds - they are allergic to sulfonamides, which do not have the same properties as sulfates or sulfites. Sulfates are salts, while sulfonamides are proteins.

Not if it has sulfa in it, which "sulfate" is related too. Let the radiologist know before hand that you are allergic to sulfa drugs and they will do something different for you.

If it is the stuff I think you are talking about, get it at one of the large chain drugsrores as they will have a better variety of flavors. Also, if you still can't take the taste and are afraid it will make you sick, hold your nose while you drink it. Don't sip, just turn it up and drink til it's gone. If you hold your nose, you can't smell, therefore it interferes with your ability to taste. I've had cancer and have had to drink all kinds of yucky stuff. Holding your nose and drinking it down without stopping really works. I promise. Just tune out and don't think about it. IT WILL WORK! Also, the others that said drink it COLD know what they are talking about. It's not as 'flavorable' when it's really cold as opposed to room temp.

I don't think so. I would call the xray techincian and let them know you are allergic to sulfa drugs so they can tell whether or not it would be safe.

make sure to let your doctor know, im not sure if it matters or not but sulfa is one of the most common drug allergies so im sure the radiologist or whoever does the scan has dealt with it many times before and will know
