Zithromax

A poster on Delphi - Avoiding Corn verified with Pfizer that their Zithromax liquid suspension does contain corn.

The company did not specify which ingredient was corn-derived or if there was more than one, but merely stated that corn was found in the ingredients.

The poster's child did manage to tolerate the medication, but not everyone may be so lucky.

Patanol

Alcon's prescription antihistamine eyedrops: Patanol (and probably Pataday as well) have not been confirmed corn-free, nor confirmed corn.

A discussion on Delphi - Avoiding Corn, concerning Patanol increases our suspicions that it contains corn.

It is unsure which ingredient(s) in the Patanol would be corn-derived, but the benzalkonium chloride may be the culprit.

Use extreme caution before using this product with a severely sensitive corn-allergic.
