So then to the pharmacy, when I got called back I was told that they didn't have any Doxycycline, So then to the next pharmacy. I spent time enough to drop off the prescription and check in. I came back forty five minutes later only to find that they didn't fill the prescription and I would have to wait since they closed out my check in and couldn't find me again. I ended up spending about 15 minutes trying to talk them into hurrying up. Thanks to CVS and a mistake at the front desk I now have a nasty cold on top of everything else. While I will be blogging this week please note that I am well drugged up and so I may have to edit later.
The only good news is that I have discovered that
Doxycycline
Naproxen
Robitussin Cold & Cough Liqui-Gels
Flexeril (name brand)
Sudafed
Is all gluten free. It took the doctor some time to get the right medications so that I didn't end up with a reaction. Doing this I then took time to look up gluten free cold/cough/allergy medications. I hope this list helps others during this not so fun part of the year.

Very interesting. Gluten-Free is something that I've never looked into since my family isn't affected by it, But, I'm hearing about it more and more, especially since I work at an elementary school.
ReplyDeleteWow... my family isn't gluten-free so it's not something I really ever research, but still good to know!
ReplyDeleteWow I wouldn't even thought about my medicine when it comes to gluten free diet. Interesting little fact and love that you listed all that you found are for gluten free people!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain on the cold front. Literally! I'm just glad you found some meds that work for you.
