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.

      Pepsid alternative

      The inactive ingredients list you provided includes pregelatinized starch, which can sometimes be derived from wheat, meaning it may contain gluten. It's best to call them to verify this. https://www.pepcid.com/our-products/max-strength-pepcid-ac-cool-mint

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! This might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/27-gluten-free-recipes-cooking-tips/ Also, just "google" for the gluten free version of something you like and want to try. For instance, google "gluten free recipe for meatloaf" or "gluten free recipe for tuna casserole".  There are also gluten free cookbooks available. There are a bunch of them offered on Amazon. The most important thing is to get a good handle on what gluten is and where and how it is hidden in food products. Many things you already eat are naturally gluten free but many things you would never expect to find gluten in will have it. For examples of the latter, Campbell's tomato soup and most soy sauces. Many canned soups contain gluten because wheat flour is used as a thickener and a texturing agent. You must get in the habit of reading ingredient labels, especially the allergen section.

      Hi, is Pepsid safe for those with celiac? If not ( and I belive it is not gluten-free) what are other alternatives? I was not able to find anything but gluten-free tums in CVS. But I really need famotidine. Thank you
