I will throw my two cents in here as a person with celiac disease, who constantly has to be on alert... depending on the pharmacist, they may or may not know, and I have ended up calling the actual pharamceutical company to find out. There are also online medication listings and pharmaceutical company listings, such as www.glutenfreedrugs.com which can help reduce having to do the footwork, and then I tell the pharmacist and request particular manufacturers for particular medications.

I'm really glad to know that, if someone else asks me. Its something I should know but didn't. Thanks
You know, it hasn't ever occurred to me to even think about that. While the brand name bactrim is, there is no way of knowing exactly on generics. There are 4 manufacturers of generic bactrim and each might use a different additive. You would have to ask your pharmacist to find out the inactive ingredients of the one you are taking.
