Palm oil derivatives are common in capsules, tablets, pills and liquid medications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We seek out palm oil free medications because our son has negative reactions to palm oil. We consider him to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/palm-oil-allergy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">palm oil allergy<\/a> and palm oil intolerance. In the past, we didn&rsquo;t realize the antihistamines and other medications were making him worse due to the palm oil derivatives in them.<\/p>\n<p>He would get sore throats. Some of them would lead to longer illnesses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Palm oil derivatives are most always in vitamins, minerals, and supplements.

Discuss with your healthcare provider what medications you should take. Here we are sharing our experience. This is the way we were able to acquire palm oil free medicine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medicine_without_palm_oil\"><\/span>Medicine without palm oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, it&rsquo;s important to know some of the common palm oil derivatives in medications. They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calcium Stearate<\/li>\n<li>Glycerin<\/li>\n<li>Magnesium Stearate<\/li>\n<li>Medium Chain Triglycerides<\/li>\n<li>Polyethylene Glycol<\/li>\n<li>Polysorbate 80<\/li>\n<li>Propylene Glycol<\/li>\n<li>Stearic Acid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read the labels for the vitamins, supplements, and medications in your home.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, you will see at least one of these ingredients listed on each bottle or package because there are many <a href=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/palm-oil-uses-what-is-palm-oil-used-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">palm oil uses<\/a> in medicines.<\/p>\n<h3>Propylene Glycol in medicine<\/h3>\n<p>Ingredients such as Propylene Glycol keeps liquid medications shelf-stable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Magnesium Stearate and Calcium Stearate in medicines<\/h3>\n<p>Manufacturers use stearates such as Magnesium Stearate to help lubricate capsules and tablets. Also, stearates help ensure the tablets don&rsquo;t stick to the machine.<\/p>\n<h3>Polysorbate 80 in medicines<\/h3>\n<p>Polysorbate 80 helps bind ingredients together and to improve the consistency in gel caps. There are many other reasons as well, including using them as stabilizers and fillers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_compounding_pharmacy\"><\/span>Using a compounding pharmacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a compounding pharmacy in your area, you may be able to get medicine without palm oil. You will need a prescription from your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>First, know what OTC medications you are trying to replace. Next, call the compounding pharmacy to ask if they have the active ingredient available.<\/p>\n<p>Ask the compounding pharmacy for approximate pricing before you call your doctor&rsquo;s office to ask for a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>Most likely, the compounding pharmacy will not accept health insurance. Therefore, you will be paying for the medication out of pocket. It&rsquo;s important for you to know the charges before you order the medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Find out as much as you can <em>before<\/em> you call the doctor&rsquo;s office to minimize questions later.<\/p>\n<p>Read below to learn our experience buying four compounded prescriptions without palm oil:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pain medication in the form of Ibuprofen<\/li>\n<li>Cough medicine<\/li>\n<li>Two antihistamines (Claritin equivalent and Benadryl equivalent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pain_medication_without_palm_oil\"><\/span>Pain medication without palm oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We didn&rsquo;t realize the OTC children&rsquo;s liquid Ibuprofen we were giving our son had palm oil derivatives.<\/p>\n<p>We wanted a palm free option on hand to be able to give him for fevers or pain relief. Because every label we read in the stores contained palm oil derivatives, we called a compounding pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>We asked if we could have the Ibuprofen itself &mdash; the active ingredient in these OTC medicines &mdash; in some form.<\/p>\n<p>The person at the compounding pharmacy said we could with a prescription from our physician. They explained if it was a liquid, it would only last for 30 days (without the palm oil derivative-type of ingredients such as Propylene Glycol).<\/p>\n<p>In order for it to be shelf-stable longer than 30 days, we asked about them making it into a capsule form.<\/p>\n<p>After speaking with the compounding representative, I called my son&rsquo;s pediatrician&rsquo;s office. I explained what I wanted.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor was able to write and prescribe 400 mg of Ibuprofen in capsule form with additional notation on the prescription to include &ldquo;hypoallergenic medicine.&rdquo; The doctor added &ldquo;not to include Propylene Glycol and Magnesium Stearate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1870\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1870\" class=\"wp-image-1870 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"medicine without palm oil\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1870\" class=\"wp-image-1870 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429-225x300.jpg.webp\" alt=\"medicine without palm oil\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429.jpg.webp 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/productswithoutpalmoil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3120-e1546366115429.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-1870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ibuprofen in veggie cap with no filler<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We now have 90 capsules, each with 400 mg of Ibuprofen, to have as the need arises.<\/p>\n<p>The receipt \/ label states: 90 CAP IBUPROFEN (NO FILLER) (VEGGIE) 400MG CAPSULE<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talk_to_the_pharmacist\"><\/span>Talk to the pharmacist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&rsquo;s essential you talk to the pharmacist once he\/she has the prescription from your doctor.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is often made from palm oil.<\/p>\n<p>After much consulting with the pharmacist, they were able to make it without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.<\/p>\n<p>(Note, I should have asked the doctor to include &ldquo;no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate&rdquo; on our other prescriptions. This is something you may want to do. If you don&rsquo;t, remember to tell them you don&rsquo;t want Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in the medication.)<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is not medical advice. At the store, the pharmacist said to be sure we give him food when we give him Ibuprofen (adults too). She suggested a banana or yogurt, even if it was at night.

The representative again assured me it would be made from pine bark.<\/p>\n<p>After I pressed further, she said they would need to add a filler because each capsule was only 30 mg. It was too small an amount to fill with only the Dextromethorphan. If they did it by hand, it would be time-consuming and cost more.<\/p>\n<p>After discussing the options, we agreed upon baking soda, Sodium Bicarbonate, as the filler.<\/p>\n<p>The label reads: DEXTROMETHORPHAN HBR (SOD BICARB-VEGGIE) 30 MG<\/p>\n<p>We are very relieved to have these medicines on hand for the times our son is sick.<\/p>\n<p>Update:&nbsp;I am happy to report the Ibuprofen and cough medicine both relieved his symptoms and didn&rsquo;t cause additional problems and reactions as medications have in the past.<\/p>\n<p>It is a huge relief to have these allergy medications as well as the OTC pain and cough medicines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Antihistamines_without_palm_oil\"><\/span>Antihistamines without palm oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A week after we picked up the above medicines, I ordered allergy medications.<\/p>\n<p>The OTC children&rsquo;s liquid allergy medications we had in our medicine cabinet all had what-seemed-to-be palm oil derivatives in them.

The active ingredient in Benadryl is Diphenhydramine, a histamine-blocker.<\/p>\n<h3>Allegra equivalent<\/h3>\n<p>Second, I wanted an OTC allergy medication for typical allergy symptoms. I was hoping to get the active ingredient in Allegra. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/difference-between-allergy-medications-2014-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">We had never used<\/a> Zyrtec or Claritin.<\/p>\n<p>I called the same compounding pharmacy I used to get the Ibuprofen and cough medicine to ask if I could get these antihistamines. They had the active ingredient in Benadryl which they could make for me with a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>However, they were unable to get Fexofenadine, the name of the active ingredient in Allegra. The pharmacy rep said they could use the active ingredient in Zyrtec which is Cetirizin. She explained, however, &ldquo;it would be expensive,&rdquo; and dissuaded me from it.<\/p>\n<p>She needed to verify and call me back to see if they could get Loratadine, the active ingredient in Claritin.<\/p>\n<h3>Calling another compounding pharmacy<\/h3>\n<p>While I was waiting, I called another compounding pharmacy in our area. This second compounding pharmacy had the Benadryl&nbsp;equivalent, Diphenhydramine, in stock.<\/p>\n<p>They too were unable to get the Fexofenadine. However, they did have the Claritin equivalent, Loratadine, in stock.<\/p>\n<p>From this second pharmacy, I was able to acquire these antihistamines without palm oil.<\/p>\n<p>I phoned my son&rsquo;s pediatrician&rsquo;s office and explained exactly what I wanted in the form of these two medications. The pediatrician called me back. He was able to write the prescription like he did for the other two medications.<\/p>\n<p>When the pharmacist had the prescriptions, he called me to clarify and confirm what I wanted. We had a detailed conversation to ensure there wouldn&rsquo;t be any palm oil derivatives in the capsules or as fillers.<\/p>\n<p>The labels read:<\/p>\n<p>DIPHENHYDRAMINE (DYE\/LACTOSE FREE) 25 MG CAP<\/p>\n<p>LORATADINE (DYE\/LACTOSE FREE) 10 MG CAP<\/p>\n<p>Now with four common OTC medications being palm oil free, we feel much better about giving these to our son when it&rsquo;s necessary.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cough_drops_without_palm_oil\"><\/span>Cough drops without palm oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Typically, the cheaper the cough drop, the more likely it contains palm oil.<\/p>\n<p>Many store brand cough drops include these palm oil derivatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Glycerin<\/li>\n<li>Medium Chain Triglycerides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Name brand cough drops often contain Glycerin.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you contact the company directly to ask them the SOURCE of these ingredients, you won&rsquo;t know if they are derived from palm oil.<\/p>\n<p>However, generally, companies are looking for inexpensive ingredients, and palm oil is cheap.<\/p>\n<p>We have not yet researched cough drops without palm oil.
