I am allergic to Sulfa and Sulfa based medicines (it's a medicine used all the time) I am going to be traveling to Mexico and Germany soon, and will be getting a medical id tag. I used a lotion that had sulfa in it for a rash i had (unrelated) and 2 dyas later broke out in hives. We don't know what would happen should I consume sulfa and would rather not know. Does anybody know what I should put on my id tag? I would like a doctor/ nurse/some medical personell and not just run of the mill people, but thanks!

Basically, I want to know if "sulfa" is the same in english, german and spanish, and what else i need to put on this. (should I put Allergic to sulfa or just sulfa or what??? should i write what happens, but since we're not sure we probablyshouldn't do that… HELP!)


Answer:
No. Different drugs go my different names in different countries. Look up the German name.

Answer:
all medicines are in latin
