[1] Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and skin ...
A sulfonamide (compound) is a chemical compound that contains this group. The general formula is R−SO2NR'R" or R−S (=O)2−NR'R", where each R is some organic group; for example, "methanesulfonamide" (where R = methane, R' = R" = hydrogen) is CH3SO2NH2. Any sulfonamide can be considered as derived from a sulfonic acid by replacing a ...
