HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are a few drugs that are not antibiotics that contain the sulfa moiety (small portions sulfur related).

At present, there is little evidence to suggest a cross reaction between persons with a history of allergies to sulfur antibiotics and drugs with sulfa moiety though every one is different. Many can take these meds with no effects.
If a reaction occurred with your use then they would need to be avoided.

You may need to consider the use of insulin if there are no oral medications that you can take.

I hope this helps
