The best person to ask is going to be the pharmacist. If they are busy or you want to check yourself the drug will come with a sheet which gives contact numbers for the company that makes it. You can call the company themselves. If this is a generic form of this drug you should double check on each refill as the binders can change at will on generics.

I did call the pharmacist today and he told me that it was gluten free. I was given the generic form.
I will try taking it tonight. All this because I pulled a back muscle sneezing. It ended up messing up more muscles from coughing too. Leave it to me to have something weird like that happen to me.

You too? I turned my head so I wouldn't sneeze on the heater back when I was 13 a y/o kid. I'm now 34, I can still turn my head a certain way and screw up my neck- shoulder area for days. It sucks!!

I couldn't believe that I did it. Of course my sinuse have been draining to add to the aggravation, so coughing doesn't help the healing process. My doctor even said he did it before.

add me to the list of pulled muscles when coughing!
I don't get coughs very often but when I do it's quite harsh. this time I just pulled a muscle in my back but years ago I coughed so bad I did something to my ribs and couldn't stand straight for 2 days until I saw a Chiro.
thanks for confirming about the methocarbamol

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

You are most welcome. Now if I can only stop the coughing so the muscle can heal. I am getting the most relief from my heated car seat. I thought it was an odd feature for cloth seats, but just happened to be on the one I bought. I love this feature.
