<<I wonder if any list members using the The Pill as a contraceptive device

<<I would also be very interested in this information, specifically Depo
<<Provera. If noone knows, how would I contact the company that makes it and
<<find out from them. Having never called a manufacturer inquiring about
<<specific ingredients, I don't want to come across as a fool to be ignored.
Yesterday I talked to Larry Hough, the Medical Information Specialist for
Upjohn Canada and he confirmed that Depo-provera, manufactured by Upjohn, is
gluten-free as are all their products.

submitted to the CPS (Compendium of Pharmaceutical Specialties), their products
are also gluten-free. Verification can be obtained from:
