Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Glenda, these companies keep us pretty much in a state of confusion as if we were not already. Sounds like a lot of other companies. " Yes, we are gfcf but we buy from companies that may not be so don't hold us to it. We don't want to get sued. " so now where does that leave us? Right back to wondering whether to use this med or let the kid suffer with allergies. Betty ----- Original Message ----- > I would like to say " thanks " to those of you that replied to my various questions, it really helped out. However, I still had " a bee buzzing my bonnet " about the Claritin Reditabs--- so I called three different pharmacists -- one said that the Reditabs were gfcf but was unable to verify where the citric acid was derived from, and one suggested calling Schering Corp. itself to verify. > > So this afternoon I called Schering Corp. (908/298-4000 or 1-) and spoke with their drug information services and he said: " That they did not specifically test to make sure that the Reditabs were gfcf, and that they received the components from different companies and that these companies may change the way the components are processed without notifying them. For these reasons they cannot guarantee that the Claritin Reditab product was GFCF " . > > He also told me that the citric acid contained in the Reditab was derived from corn and that he was unsure where the mint flavoring came from. > > I hope that this helps, and I'm sorry if this causes mass confusion (a state in which I live these days). However, if someone decides to call to verify and they tell you different, please let me know. > > Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
