hopefully somebody can accurately answer this...

In clinical practice, I see thiazides, loops, and celebrex used all the time in sulfa allergic patients. My question is, on the NAPLEX, would those be appropriate to use in the sulfa allergic patient? I dont want to get marked off for it. I would think that it would be a no go, but just want to verify.

Thanks yall

No. FOr the exam, go by the book

What about using Sulfate anion drugs (ferrous sulfate, morphine sulfate, etc)? In real life we would of course fill it, but for the exam?

World of difference between sulfa drugs and sulfate. Not related at all.

sulfa drugs are predominantly sulfonamides
