Trying to confirm if there is any gluten in certain medications.

[RDLiberty]

So, been trying to convince if the four pharmaceutical medications I take contain gluten. I have already spoken with my pharmacist and she gave me the DailyMed website, but I haven't been able to pull any ingredient lists from that site.

Been doing research online. FDA doesn't help much, though they did say that there are few medications that they know contain gluten.

So, wondered what your personal experiences/knowledge of the following medications are.

Losartan Potassium, 25mg tabs. Brand: Aurobindo Pharma Limited

Levothyroxine 175mcg tabs. Brand: Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Lantus insulin.

Insulin Asparte. Brand unknown.

Far as I know the insulin is okay. What has been y'alls experiences with the two tablets med I take though? Doctor didn't seem to know anything either.

 

Thank you so much. -RD.

and then scroll down to the "Ingredients and Appearance" and click on it, you will see the active and inactive ingredients for each medication, and in this case the inactive are below, which appear to be naturally gluten-free:

Thank you! I looked and looked and it didn't give me the option for ingredients on the site I was on. Either I missed it or was on the wrong site. Again, thank you so much.
