The reason I ask the doctor not to substitute is I only have to call one
company to find out if it is gluten free. When I have it refilled I am sure
it will not be filled by another company's generic brand.
I have never had a problem where I could not take the prescription because
of gluten. If it does happen I know my pharmacy will let me check the
generic brands until I find one.
