<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Got a good suggestion from my pharmacist when I was reseaching whether claritin was gf--ask the pharmacist at the drug company about other forms of the same drug. Claritin CAPSULES are lactose based (a problem for me) but their quickly dissolving TABLETS aren't. The liquid version contains sugar, a problem for diabetics. The drug companies do not often volunteer information as to other forms of the same medications, you must ask. Ann
