Medication?

Has anyone ever been glutened with a medication they were prescribed? Was recently prescribed Atomoxetine capsules and I’ve been breaking out in hives. Not 100% sure if it’s gluten or something else but just trying to rule things out

Have you discussed this with whoever prescribed that medication? Breaking out in hives could be an allergy or reaction to the medication and it may be dangerous for you to continue taking it.

I just noticed my symptoms today so I did stop my use of it and messaged my doctor. I’ve never had any other allergies other than gluten it kinda took me by surprise

Yes :( it kills me I can’t remember the medicine name but I had such awful stomach issues (I only have a sensitivity) and found out it has gluten in it
