Lightbulb the vast majority

of oral drugs contain lactose as an inert ingredient.

The brand name Bentyl has it for example. And I suspect the generic does too. If you ask for the insert attached to the original stock bottle at your pharmacy, you might find it listed there.

Millions and millions of people around the world are lactose intolerant, and do not have a problem with the minute amounts
that appear in tablets/capsules.

If you are one of the rare people who react, you can take a lactase enzyme tablet with it. (there is a new faster dissolve one available now).
