The doctor and pharmacy BOTH cannot tell me and I was prescribed yesterday. I cannot take this if it contains ANY wheat or gluten or any inert ingredients that that will convert into wheat gluten. If this contains starch, I need to know what starch it is. It has to be safe for a celiac. Also does it interfere with depakote, phenobarbitol, lipitor, boniva?
Thank You, Mary

It is best to ask manufacturer if it contains any gluten, etc.
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc.(which is part of Pfizer)

There is an interaction between Protonix and Lipitor but may be insignificant. Just be aware of the symptoms it may cause. Please see link below for interaction in detail.
