Tussionex Cough Medicine

[Fonda]

Can anyone tell me if Tussionex cough medicine is gluten-free. I have a terrible cough and getting over the crud and I need to know if I should get some or not. I used to take it before I got Celiac. I have looked on some of the gluten-free meds sites I have and didn't find it.

Thanks!!

Call your pharmacist and ask if he can look for you. If he can't as him for a contact of the company and call them.

I don't see it on any of my lists..someone else on the board may know but checking with the manufacturer is your best bet.

I have used it since going gluten-free without a problem as long as I only use a half dose at a time. If I take a full dose, I get whacky-headed and sick to my stomach. My pharmacist is usually really good about making sure on my meds.
