Gluten-Free Medications
| In general, the best approach is to tell your pharmacist that you can't buy a product until you know it is gluten-free...then ask them to check with the manufacturer. Over-the-counter drugs often contain gluten. This is not as common in prescription drugs, but still needs to be checked. The following resources are helpful: GlutenFreeDrugs
