Sulfites vs. Sulphur

I am very allergic to all sulphur drugs. I was recently given Adoxa by my dermatologist for scarring alopecia. When I took the first dosage I felt very strange -- nausea, stomach ache, dizzy, and extremely tired. When I checked the manufacturer's site, it stated that I should notify my doctor if I'm allergic to sulfites.

Are sulphur-based drugs the same as sulfite drugs?

Please advise.

Thanks.
