Steve -- I beg to differ. I have had reactions to at least two prescription meds which contained lactose. I do not know how much was in the pills/capsules but it certainly affected me. It also would explain reactions I've had in the past when taking anti-histamines. I never connected lactose to those meds and blamed it on other things.
