Glucosamine suphite and sulpha drug allergy

When I was a child I was told that I am allergic to Sulpha drugs.  I would like to take Glucosamine Sulphite for my knees, but am concerned that my allergy may be effected.  Will it?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Sulfa drugs are sulfonamides and derivatives of para-amino-benzoic acid. Glucosamine sulfate is a sulfur compound. The two are different drugs. Hence should not cross react. It should be safe for you to take glucosamine sulfate. However since you have allergy to one group of drugs, start it with caution.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
