Cvs Generic Medications?

I've compared the inactive and active ingredients of the following CVS Allergy Medication to the Unsafe Ingredient list:

Open Original Shared Link

The only thing that worries me is that there is an extra ingredient listed on CVS' website for this allergy medication that is not listed on my box here at home. It is Pregelatinized Starch. It states it is unknown whether or not this is processed with Gluten.

I have heard that it is better to stay away from generic medications. However, I have also heard that CVS brand medications are usually Gluten free. I've double checked all of the other ingredients, which are not on the list.

Anyone have experience with this medication or know if it is gluten free?

Thanks yet again. Also, appreciate all of your previous replies and help with answering my previous questions.

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

I ALWAYS call the lab where it was manufactured, just in case.

Hi,

I've noticed that Target has began to label their generic brands as gluten free within the past year and a half or so. I was able to take their generic Allegra last summer without a problem and I am very sensitive to cross contamination. Not sure if this is an option for you, but wanted to let you know.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
