I have read so much conflicting info on this. I asked my doctor, he could not tell me if Zithro was gluten free. The pharmacist could not tell me. I have called Pfizer, they will get back to me in SEVERAL DAYS. I need to take something now. What Pfizer told me this am, was that they could not BE CERTAIN a med was gluten free, without talking to the actual VENDOR of the drug....and each drug could have 80 VENDORS!!!
Is it less likely that a liquid would have gluten in it? I ask that because maybe a liquid form would not contain as many "fillers".
I know I have read plenty of messages that said Zithro was gluten free...but based on what I was told this morning from Pfizer...there is NO guarantee....
I dont know what to do....
I am pretty sick with bronchitis...and I am afraid to take anything!

You need to find the more useful Pfizer number! They've been able to answer that question the two times (in two different years) I answered that question! It's gluten free.
