Oh and the Pharmacist was not the one who caught it. I was the one who caught it. I was looking at the dosages when it told me the ingredients. And to clarify rather i should be on this or not because of my allergies they pharmacist was like umm you should not be on it.

So there for who is the doctor. ME apparently.

**** IT!
I am going to be a doctor when I grow up.

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).

there is
 
a new faster acting Lactase enzyme product out there now:

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/21867.php

It just became available at Costco in a generic form this summer. I use it for ice cream. It works for me.

I also use Lactaid milk. Lactaid milk does not have Lactase added to it. It has the lactose removed instead.
I use the blue one-- 2% with added calcium.
