Non-Food Items with Sulphites:

Bottle sanitizing solution for home brewing

Medications – liquid, pills, injectables

For example, a well-known brand of injectable epinephrine has sulphites. The author of this website inquired with the manufacturer about the safety of taking a product with sulphites to treat a sulphite reaction. The company basically said that if you’re having an anaphylactic reaction and need the auto-injector, then the beneficial effects should outweigh the negative: if you’re sick enough to need the injection, what do you have to lose? They are unlikely to guarantee that statement.

Always check with a pharmacist on the ingredients in medications before taking anything. If you need to go to the hospital, discuss sulphites / sulfites with the doctor and all staff giving you any medication. You are responsible for your own health. If you have a severe reaction to sulphites, consider wearing a medical alert bracelet.
