Does anyone know if Zyrtec, Allegra, or Claritin are gluten free?

I take Zyrtec and have had no issues. I saw a web page from someone a while ago asking about Zyrtec. She contacted the manufacturer and they basically wouldn't say flat out that it was gluten free. So she tested it with her Zuma Gluten meter and saw no gluten indication. She thought it was funny that an allergy manufacturer wouldn't confirm about allergy ingredients! She was right on!

That's because even though the gluten is not an intentional ingredient in the product, the equipment used to manufacture it is not dedicated to just that product. There may be other medications manufactured on that same equipment that uses wheat starch as a filler. And, so cross contamination cannot be ruled out.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By Art Maltman · Posted

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.

      You may want to search the same site for other makers of the drug, if there are any. Many times generic manufacturers make the same drugs using different inactive ingredients. To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
