Does anyone know if Spirntec oral birthcontrol is gluten-free ? I'm waiting to hear from a source but thought i'd ask you all. It says it has pregelatinzed starch Does anyone know if this is ok?

Thanks For Your Help, Tina

Just for the record, I called about Tri-Lo-Sprintec, which is a generic for Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo that has recently become available. The company said it is gluten free. Here is their information:

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA
Administrative Offices
Phone: 215.591.3000
Toll free: 888 TEVA USA (838-2872)
diagnosed 8/05 through positive bloodwork & biopsy
gluten-free since then!

I took tri sprintec for 12 months with no problems. the next one i got onto was another that was generic for tri cyclen and it made me sick within three weeks. i contacted the manufacturer and they had wheat starch... so i called my gyno and requested another scrip which hasnt bothered my stomach but hasn't done as good of a job of controlling my mood swings. tri sprintec has been my favorite so far but its been over a year since i was on it so there is a possibility the formula has changed. i would get in contact with the manufacturer as it is VERY hard to find acurate ingredient info on the net. its like they dont want to release their secret ingredient or something
