These medications (Bactrim, Gantrisin, Septra) are often prescribed for urinary tract infections and may cause an increase in sun sensitivity and occasionally lower blood counts resulting in disease flares. There are also sulfa diuretics (water pills) such as Dyazide and diabetic drugs containing sulfa such as Aldactone. <BR/><BR/>Dawn Isherwood, RN<BR/>Health Educator for the Lupus Foundation of AmericaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595844535299775193.post-79985751543675181332007-10-30T23:36:00.000-04:002007-10-30T23:36:00.000-04:00Hi What is it about the sulfa drugs with lupus.. h...Hi <BR/>What is it about the sulfa drugs with lupus.. had a bad reaction to them before dx....<BR/>chronic chickchronic chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223754946857322547noreply@blogger.com
