The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions to sulfa antibiotics is approximately 3%, close to penicillin; [3] hence medications containing sulfonamides are prescribed carefully. Sulfonamide drugs were the first broadly effective antibacterials to be used systemically, and paved the way for the antibiotic revolution in medicine.
One study has shown the allergic reaction rate to be about 3.0% over 359 courses of therapy. [11] Of the allergic reactions, skin rashes, eosinophilia and drug fever were the most common, while serious reactions were less common. Sulfamethoxazole is contraindicated in people with a known hypersensitivity to trimethoprim or sulfonamides. [9]
A Cochrane review found that while it is an effective treatment for shigellosis it also produces more significant adverse effects than other antibiotic drugs.

Many people with run-of-the-mill seasonal allergies can manage their symptoms with over-the-counter medications. But there are a few important reasons to check in with your doctor or an allergist.
Many important drugs contain the sulfonamide group. [1] A sulfonamide (compound) is a chemical compound that contains this group. The general formula is R−SO 2 NR'R" or R−S(=O) 2 −NR'R", where each R is some organic group; for example, "methanesulfonamide" (where R = methane, R' = R" = hydrogen) is CH 3 SO 2 NH 2.
