I'm allergic to antibiotics with sulfur in them. Do these contain them ## Hello, Betty! How are you? No, this tablet is manufactured by Heritage Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500ms of Metronidazole, which is not a sulfa based antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, stomach pain and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
