Gluten Free Allergy Medicine

• CVS Health

• NeilMed

If you’re suffering from allergic symptoms to common allergens, such as pollen, dust mites or pet hair, and you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you need to find a gluten-free allergy medicine or a gluten-free nasal wash, such as NeilMed SinuFlo ReadyRinse. Using a gluten-free allergy medicine or nasal wash reduces the chance that your condition’s symptoms will flare up when you use the medicine. The effects of accidentally ingesting gluten may include bloating, abdominal pain and nausea, and they can occur in adults and children.  

Medications may not state whether they contain gluten. Some medicines, such as those in tablet form, may use starch to bind the ingredients together. Some starches are derived from wheat, which contains gluten. Others may contain potato or corn starch, but these may also contain traces of gluten if they're manufactured in an area that handles gluten-containing ingredients.  

To be sure that you're purchasing gluten-free allergy medicine, check the label and look for ‘gluten-free’ listed in the medicine details. For example, using Neilmed Sinus Rinse Kit may help relieve sinus pain and congestion from allergies and may be helpful for people who require a gluten-free diet. If you prefer to take tablets, CVS Health Allergy Relief tablets are a gluten-free option that offers 24-hour relief.  

Choosing the most suitable medicine to manage your allergies depends on the symptoms you have and the type of medicine you prefer to take. For example, if you find it difficult to take gluten-free allergy pills, you may opt for a liquid, such as DayClear Allergy Relief, which contains an antihistamine and cough suppressant with no gluten.  

For children over 2 years of age who need to follow a gluten-free diet, CVS Health Children's Allergy oral solution may help alleviate allergy symptoms, such as an itchy throat and watery eyes, for up to 24 hours.
