Julie,
Go straight to your doctor if you have these sorts of fears and talk
to him/her about it. I don't know if it is a sulpha compound, but if it is
the doctor will know. Don't take anything that you know you are allergic
too, your medication will hold for a few days until this is sorted out.
The doctor will not think your worries are silly, if  he/she does talk to
another doctor. Also discuss this with your pharmacist who may
ring the doctor up for you to sort it out.
