gluten free levothyroxine

[Paulannttsmn]

Good morning everyone, just a quick question, is Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine gluten free? I am currently on my 3rd month of being gluten free to try to improve some of my symptons. My inflammation and joint pain have improved a lot and my bloated tummy has gone, but I was reading a list yesterday of items which contained gluten where you wouldn't expect to find it and Levothyroxine was mentioned more than once, I have read the leaflet inside my box and cant see it but want to make sure as i feel so much better since going gluten free

Thank you for taking the time to read this message

Regards

Was the list anything to do with the UK?

Very few UK medicines contain gluten. No UK thyroid hormone medicines contain gluten.

Indeed, few medicines anywhere seem to contain gluten.

A short discussion about how to identify the few UK medicines which might contain gluten or wheat.
