No, the medication contained is an anti-viral called Acyclovir; that is the ingredient! Read this to ensure, for your own satisfaction that there are no Sulfa based compounds: https://www.drugclasses.com/pro/acyclovir-capsules.html. The only reference I found to "composine" was buprenorphine and naloxone (Suboxone) and I can guarantee that that is not involved.
