Hi, I was wondering if the information I got was correct, that Lipitor is not glutend free. My Doctor prescribed it and I felt awful when I took it 3 times. I stopped and then read in a gluten information book that it was not gluten free. Anyone else have any information on this. Thank you so much.

I am on Lescol for cholesterol have been for over 5 months and I have had no side effects from it. Lipitor and Zocor both made me sick.

Can you tell me what gluten-free book you found that information in?

In reality virtually all prescription medicines are gluten-free, although many companies now give you the CYA routine (if they tell you it's not supposed to have gluten but they won't guarantee it, you can assume it's gluten-free). I'd call Pfizer and ask them, but if I remember correctly they're not real cooperative.

Found this site. Not about gluten, but is about Lipitor. Not sure of the source, but interesting stuff and lots of links.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
