Gluten-Free Medications

According to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP), many prescription and over-the-counter medications contain binders to hold them together. The binders are called excipients and are generally made from wheat, corn, potato, or tapioca starch as well as other unspecified types of starch. If you have celiac disease and you get a pill that is bound with wheat, you may experience a typical celiac reaction.
