I, too, must be free of any gluten at all. I am getting very sick on it. Diarrhea, cramping and vomiting, as if I had eaten gluten. There is not a drop of gluten in my diet, and, since I've started this drug, I've been getting my typical gluten reaction. There must be some in it. Otherwise, I would not be getting this sick on it.

To make sure, call the Pharmaceutical company you are getting your medications from and ask them directly.

It doesn't really matter now. It does not stop my coughing at all, so why continue taking a prescription that gives me outsize reactions?

I am trying to be helpful, and by that, not that I expect anything from anyone, but usually people say "thank you"...

Sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I'm just so frustrated!

I, too, would like to know the answer. I became nauseous, eyes burned, and loose bowels. My body thinks it has a gluten in it but the pharmacist doesn't see any gluten on his list. I need a better answer.

I would advise calling your pharmacist and asking him/her prior to having it filled. He/She should have access to the full ingredients.

Thank you... I looked on glutenfreedrugs.com and did not find the medicine listed there. The pharmacy I use does not want to be of much help at times and that is why I tried this route. Thanks again!

I would recommend a different pharmacy then! If you purchase your medications there they should be more helpful to you!
