Hi All,
We are considering "unlinking" our drug allergy alert for sulfa medications from sulfa- derivative diuretics (e.g. Furosemide) to decrease the number of alerts. The alert would then only fire for a patient with a documented sulfa allergy and sulfa antibiotic order. It would NOT fire a patient with a sulfa with a documented sulfa allergy and an order for a sulfa-derivative diuretic.
