CRITICAL UPDATE, June 18, 2021:
As of April 20, 2021,
Drugs.com corrected their erroneous definition of dextrose. However, another
entity has intervened; and Drugs.com is once again endangering the lives of
corn-allergic citizens by falsely claiming that dextrose can be sourced from
products other than corn. They are also
exposing clinicians to potential liability as a result of this false and
misleading claim.
https://www.drugs.com/dextrose.html
The ONLY source of dextrose is corn.
Dextrose is corn sugar,
21CFR184.1857, and can prove fatal to anyone with an IgE-mediated allergy to
corn.

PETITION: Demand that Drugs
dot com correct their definition of dextrose (corn sugar/D-glucose) for the
safety of corn-allergic patients.
