A member asked:
If i am allergic to sulfa drugs, can i still use epsom salts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epsom: salts contain magnesium sulfate, which is different from the sulfonamides, which make up the composition of sulfa drugs. So there should be no problem using Epsom Salts in the presence of sulfa drug allergy.
