Not sure if it is gluten free or not, but I do know that I can't tolerate any antibiotic ending in mycin. They make me throw up immediately, sharp stomach pains and feel rotten for hours. My doctor told me it's an unfortunate common side effect. I will only take penicillin now.

I got this off of medicinenet.com "The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting, each of which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin. Rarer side effects include abnormal liver tests, allergic reactions, and nervousness."

Hope you feel better.

      Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins in the U.S. as a part of USDA policy. Gluten free facsimile products are not fortified. There is no government mandate for such. When you remove wheat flour by going gluten free, you may be removing a significant source of vitamins.
