Sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin) should be avoided as it is in the same drug class as sulfamethaxazole. Trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) also contains sulfamethaxazole and should be avoided. Amoxicillin, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin are not in the same drug class as sulfamethaxazole and do not typically cross-react with sulfonamides.
