Quite a large number of people are
coming to the hospital asking for
sulfa drugs for colds or the flu.
People should be warned that such
drugs are not only useless but can
be harmful when taken for these con
ditions. Sulfa drugs are of bene
fit in complications of a cold, but
arc of no help for the cold itself,
and in many cases are definitely
harmful. The Navy has tested 25
different substances for influenza,
among which were penicillin and the
sulfa drugs, and found that none of
these substances were of anv value
for this condition. Because of the
readiness of many people to take
sulfa drugs freely, the Doctor feels
that this warning should be given.
