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.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
