Yes, Lasix ( furosemide) does contain the compound sulfonamide in its molecular structure, so it has sulfa in it; however, it is usually considered to be a drug related to the sulfa drugs rather than a true sulfa drug. People who are allergic to sulfa may have a allergice reaction to Lasix but the chance is much smaller than to a true sulfa drug like an antibiotic in that family.
· Medications to be avoided are sulfa antibiotics, Sulfonylureas, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and furosemide (Lasix), Sulfasalasine, Zonisamide (sulfonamide medication used for the treatment of seizures). As furosemide has sulpha group it should be avoided in sulpha allergy patients
