Is Meclizine Hcl (A Drug For Vertigo) Gluten-Free?

Here are the inactive ingredients: Lactose, Magnesium Stearate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Sodium Starch Glycolate, and Talc.  

 

The only one that causes me concern is the Sodium Starch Glycolate - which I've read is usually made from potato, but I'd prefer not to be a guinea pig, especially when I already feel like crap.

 

Thank you in advance

Call the company and ask? :/ they 'should' know.

I call every manufacturer, every time, before filling the prescription or buying a OTC medication. They are expensive and can't be returned if they contain gluten. Some websites for some companies will list if gluten is used or not in the product catalog, some are gluten free manufacturers, some are international with no phone number and I don't bother with them. I have no desire to wait for an email from them when I can just get a human on the phone in 3 minutes. Being this late on a weekend, you won't get an answer until Monday now unless the website for your manufacturer has the information.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
