Does anyone know of any generic migraine meds that are carried on the WalMart plan of $4 per month?

Hi JJ,

Welcome to the board!

The best thing to do is to talk to the WalMart pharmacist. Ask them if they have a gluten free migraine med. Be aware that they may have to do some research, they may not have a clue about GF meds.

Here's a great article to pass on to them:

One site that might help you narrow down your selection is: http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/. Use this only as a guide. See what meds are listed here and then call the selected companies to verify that it is GF.

Here is a link to the Wal-Mart pharmacy page. I would find out if the drug you are looking for is on the list, and then check its GF status with the list Al posted above or the one on Delphi. Like Al said, the lists are only a gude. Also, most, if not all, of the meds on the Wallyworld $4 drug plan are generics, so you will have to check with the specific manufacturer of the drug that's in the store. Generics can be produced by a variety of different companies.

Good luck!
