A member asked:
If you are allergic to clindamycin should you take sulfamethoxazole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but: These two antibiotics do not cross-react although when one has one drug allergy, the chances of having a 2nd drug allergy is higher. The question however should be whether you need the sulfa drug.
