I received several responses, one thinking I couldn't read and another thinking I didn't
know how to do a Google search.
There were two very kind and informative responses. One person has taken Lovastatin
for a year and knows it is gluten free. The other is from a major university and informed
me that Lovastatin is a generic and Mevacor is the brand name. I immediately found that
on the gluten free drug list and read about it and its side effects on the Merck site.
Thank you to all who helped.
