Has anyone here used Lasix (furosemide) while being allergic to sulfa (or may be)?

[NixLifter]

I have been reading up on lasix latelly. i have not personally used them. I am in school studying medicine and i know that some people that are allergic to sulfa may have an allergic reaction to lasix because of a similarity in the chemical structure of the medications. Now my problem is that in the past when i was a child, a took a medicine that had sulfa in it and we weren't sure but i may have had an allergic reaction to that (it may have been another medicine) so, since then when asked what i am allergic to, i say maybe sulfa and explain the story. so i have never known for sure if i am allergic to sulfa... so i am kind of in a bind. i would like to see if anyothers have experienced lasix while being (or maybe being) allergic to sulfa.

I think that i will be fine, and i also believe that if i was even ever allergic to sulfa, i know that many allergies during childhood are grown out of by their 20's. Especially mild allergies

let me know what you guys think--

never used it for precontest (for a show) and my trainer might have me use it depending on what i look like. i just wanted to make the ness. precautions. i always read up on whatever i might be putting into my body
