Stephen TABLE IV GLUTEN-FREE DRUG MANUFACTURERS The following table lists manufacturers who do not use gluten and is based on information provided voluntarily by the manufacturers for preparations included in the CPS. In some cases, raw materials used in the manufacturing process are obtained from sources other than the pharmaceutical industry and may contain traces of gluten. It should not be assumed that manufacturers not listed use gluten. This list is not exhaustive and should serve as an initial screening tool only.

A fraction of the gluten in these cereals called prolamines, causes damage to the small intestine in sensitive individuals with celiac disease. The prolamines of corn and rice are not toxic. In the monographs, the statement "contains gluten" refers to the gluten derived from wheat, barley, oats and rye. The following table lists products that contain gluten and is based on onformation provided voluntarily by the manufactures for preparations included in the CPS. In some cases, raw materials used in the manufacturing process are obtained from sources other than the pharmaceutical industry and may contain traces of gluten. It should not be assumed that products not listed are gluten-free. This list is not exhaustive and should serve as an initial screening tool only.
