Sulfa... - sj


Posted: Sep 10, 2010

Should I capitalize sulfa when it's just used in the allergy list as grouping all sulfa drugs together?  I've seen it done both ways and I'm not sure if one is more correct than the other.

Sulfa is just sort of a clipped version of a class of drugs--sulfamethoxazole. Classes of drugs don't get capitalized, as they're not brand names. I just type sulfa. It's become an acceptable clipped version.
