Is Meclizine Hcl (A Drug For Vertigo) Gluten-Free?

Here are the inactive ingredients: Lactose, Magnesium Stearate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Sodium Starch Glycolate, and Talc.  

 

The only one that causes me concern is the Sodium Starch Glycolate - which I've read is usually made from potato, but I'd prefer not to be a guinea pig, especially when I already feel like crap.

 

Thank you in advance

Call the company and ask? :/ they 'should' know.

I call every manufacturer, every time, before filling the prescription or buying a OTC medication. They are expensive and can't be returned if they contain gluten. Some websites for some companies will list if gluten is used or not in the product catalog, some are gluten free manufacturers, some are international with no phone number and I don't bother with them. I have no desire to wait for an email from them when I can just get a human on the phone in 3 minutes. Being this late on a weekend, you won't get an answer until Monday now unless the website for your manufacturer has the information.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
