Sulfonamides are used to treat many kinds of infections caused by bacteria and certain other microorganisms.
Sulfonamides
Erythema multiforme has many causes, most commonly are drugs. Penicillin, sulfonamides, certain epilepsy drugs, aspirin, and acetaminophen are the most likely medication-induced causes. Erythema multiforme can also be caused by.
Acquired methemoglobinemia can be caused by exposure to certain medications, chemicals, or substances that can oxidize hemoglobin, converting it to methemoglobin. Common causes include nitrate or nitrite medications, certain anesthetics, certain antibiotic drugs (such as dapsone and sulfonamides), and certain chemicals used in industries like aniline dyes or certain pesticides.
Those diseases caused by bacterial infection/growth are inhibited by sulfonamide drugs because the drug interferes with the ability of the bacteria to reproduce. This slows down the development of the infection giving the bodies natural immune system time to develop the defenses needed to destroy the bacteria naturally.
Saccharin cannot be directly converted into sugar because they are chemically different substances. Saccharin is an artificial sweetener, while sugar (sucrose) is a naturally occurring carbohydrate. To obtain sugar from saccharin, you would need to find an alternative method or source of sugar.
what is the difference between sulfonamides and penicillin
Sulfonamides inhibit dihydropteroate synthetase so that the bacteria's nucleotide synthesis is inhibited.

Sulfonamide drugs-- A group of antibacterial drugs used to treat infections of the lungs and skin, among other things.
Antibiotics or sulfonamides.

Sulfonamides pass into breast milk and may cause liver problems, anemia, and other problems in nursing babies whose mothers take the medicine.
people have had severe and life-threatening reactions to sulfonamides. These include sudden, severe liver damage, serious blood problems, breakdown of the outer layer of the skin,
Yes, Sulfonamides should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. IF you do have GI upset then eat a small snack.
Sulfonamides are likely to precipitate in urine resulting in crystalluria.If the patient does not take adequate amounts of water(6-8 glasses/day) these are likely to aggregate into kidney stones
Sulfonamides are a class of antibiotic - the first class of useful antibiotic, in fact. They work by inhibiting the production of folate by bacteria. Because humans cannot make their own folate (we must eat folate produced by other organisms), sulfonamides do not affect human cells. Folate is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA, so inhibiting its production in bacterial cells stops the bacterial cells from dividing. Because sulfonamides to not directly kill the bacteria, only stop their spread, they are called bacteriostatic.
