Default Inactive ingredients in medications

CAn anyone tell me a good site other than the drug company site to find a list of the inactive ingredients in a medication? I have 2 steroid pills now one is from Roxane and one is Westward. I looked at the Roxane site and while I do pretty good on a good day with sites I found that one hard to navagate. I hate to throw another pill in my body till I can find out what was in the Roxane pill and what is in the Westward that I now have to maybe replace it. My tolerance for the Roxane is getting worse. If I hadnt had all that last week I would have called my doc that prescibed it again. But I am seeing the eye doc out of town so maybe he will give me something new.

When you pick up the prescription at the pharmacy, there are attached insert printouts on each RX bottle. Ask for one of those.

The list of inactive ingredients is on it. You can call your pharmacist and he/she can read it to you over the phone.

The FDA requires an insert be attached to each stock bottle distributed. For generic products, this is the fastest and perhaps only way to get that information.

For brand name products, www.rxlist.com has that information (which is just a copy of the insert) on it online.
