Ingredients For Prescription Meds

Does anyone know where I can find info on prescription medication? After my endo I stopped taking all meds. Yesterday, I couldn't take it anymore and had to take my allergy med. I also had to start provera yesterday (period problem which I am also hoping will regulate once gluten free for a while) Anyway, I now seem to have a sore throat, (almost a swollen fleeing) that I can't shake. Not sure if it's due to all the pollen or something in one of the medications I took. Is there anywhere online that I can find ingredients info?

For prescriptions, usually you need to call the company that makes them. This is probably easier with a new perscription. I call the pharmacy when they have filled it (but before I pick it up & pay for it) and get the manufactorer info that they have. Sometimes they can give me a number or website to get the number. Sometimes there is a drug number that helps.

There is a list but I'm not sure how old it is. I'll see if I can find it and add it on here.

glutenfreedrugs.com is one site. That list says Provera is gluten-free. Other than that, you normally have to call the manufacturer. And you usually get a confusing or legalese answer. In the U.S., the vast majority of meds are gluten-free, although that doesn't mean that absolutely all are.

I usually check Open Original Shared Link, which is maintained by a pharmacist and updated frequently. Ingredients are not listed, however. You could google the drug to see a list of ingredients or call the company.

      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/
