A year or more ago my family doctor mentioned that things such as
margarine and some pills/caplets contained filler which had lactose in
it. So I now ask the prescriber to check. He (it's always a he!) picks
up a book from his shelf and reads what the medication contains. I've
avoided several problems this way.
