Gluten-Free Medicine?

That cough turned into sinusitis and bronchitis, and now I find myself looking for some gluten free medicine. In my 2003 guide to medications, it says that Zithromax (the pill) is not gluten free, but the suspension (usually given to kids...) is. I always get funny looks at Walgreens. The Waltussin DM seems okay, too.

As an aside, I think the FDA should rename those "inactive ingredients" to something like "mostly benign ingredients" Has anyone out there run into trouble going off the "approved" list for their medical plan because of gluten ingredients?
