What meds can and cannot be given to a patient with a history of anaphylaxis with sulfites?

 

[seinfeld]

This was a grab bag question for my Oral Exam. Most drugs that contain a preservative, some versions of propofol. IN my exam i told them that beyond wine and it being a common preservative i did not know and would have to consult with colleagues.

Found this list on google search.

Amikacin
Betamethasone phosphate (Celestone)
Chloropromazine (Thorazine)
Dexamethasone phosphate (Decadron)
Dopamine
Epinephrine (Adrenaline, Ana-Kit, Epi-Pen)

Gentamycin
Isoetharine HCl
Isoproterenol (injectable)
Hydrocortisone (injectable)

Yes. You can get epinephrine vials labelled "preservative free"
