Montelukast (Generic Singulair)

I've read on glutenfreedrugs.com that the generics for Singulair do not contain gluten, but that the manufacturers do not test for its presence.  Has anyone encountered any problems taking a generic form of Singulair?  I'm mostly interested in Aurobindo (5mg) and Teva (10mg) as those are the brands my pharmacy uses.

I have never encountered a single manufacturer that tests for the presence of gluten. I have called many, and they will make their standard statement about it being gluten free, not using gluten ingredients, blah blah blah, but then say something to the effect of "we do not test our final products for the presence of gluten" which is considered a CYA statement. Or, cover your ass, which is a you can't sue us statement. Think though about the cleaning practices they have to have in place to prevent the contamination of one type of drug to another. I have absolutely no fear of CC from drug companies. There are, to the best of my knowledge, no manufacturers that actually test for the presence of gluten.

 

FWIW the only drug I take on a daily basis is a TEVA brand drug. Also, my personal policy is to actually call each manufacturer about each drug, I do not use those online lists. The manufacturer will have the most relevant and up to date information available. A few manufacturers will actually have the information listed on their website, which saves a phone call, but the calls rarely take more than 5-10 minutes.

If  you are waiting to find one that is tested for gluten....you may be waiting for a long time.  No gluten ingredients sounds fine to me.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      When the pizza was dropped off she told me it had a Udi's certified gluten-free crust. Even so, I am trying to play things as safe as possible for at least the next 6-months. With that said, I returned the two slices to my neighbor and asked her to thank her mom for the pizza. 😊 I will likely bump into my neighbor's mom sometime next week. She sh...

      Both homemade vinegar and fermented pickles have wonderful flavors of herbs, spices and tartness. However, fermented pickles contain healthy probiotics whereas vinegar pickles do not! https://cleanfoodliving.net/fermented-pickles/

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Colleen H, How are you doing? I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them. Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten. So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn. I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together. ...

My impression so far is the NAC is doing good.  Best with meal.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      Curious question

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.
