Finally, my summary on medications and knowing if they are gluten free
prior to purchasing them:
Many people suggested the Stokes Pharmacy guide which can be purchased
for around $20 at (800)754-5222. The Guide is called Celiac Sprue Guide
through the Medicine Cabinet.
One person suggested making a list of what works for you and asking the
doctor to perscribe that.
It was mentioned that there is a leaflet in all of the meds that the
pharmacists receive-we can ask to see that pamphlet, it gives all
ingredients including fillers.
Talk to your pharmacist and build a relationship with him/her. They are
knowledgable and some celiacs have run into a pharmacist who goes out of
their way to help.
Steve Plogstead, PharmD, at Columbus Children's Hospital at Ohio Stae U
in Columbus has been a tremendous help to me. He has a GF med web site at
http://www.geocities.com/gluten_rx
You can also phone him at 614 722 2195 or e-mail at [log in to unmask]
I asked my pharmacist about a drug I am taking. He had a 1-800 number for
just about every drug manufacturer. He called while I was there and
confirmed that my stuff was gf.
Most doctors/pharmacies
should have a book called the "Physician's Desk Reference." It will have
or should have all the telephone numbers of the pharmaceutical
companies.
thanks for all of the info!!
