DrugDrug interaction: Always tell your prescribing physician & dispensing pharmacist everything you take, whether prescription or otc. Include herbs & dietary supplements, too. Several drug-drug interaction checkers are available online. I like www.Epocrates.Com & www.Drugs.Com. Latter says safe to take together: http://www.Drugs.Com/interactions-check.Php?Drug_list=1835-0, 2128-1385. In fact, such a combo pill exists!

Yes: There is no interaction between sulfa medications and buprenorphine. However, it is in your best interest to make sure that anyone prescribing to you knows all the medication your are on. Also, get all your medication from one pharmacy, or make sure that other pharmacies know what meds you are on. They all have computerized drug-interaction checkers now, and will generally flag any problem meds.
