Alprazolam gluten free?

[Redward]

Good evening 

Anyone knows if Alprazolam is gluten free pls?

Thank you

Yes from most of the makers I know of but to be sure ask your pharmacist to check. That you have celiac should be noted in your file since they need to check every script.

Thank you for the feedback and I have to for sure tell my pharmacist about my celiac. I just found out and trying to put my head around it

This site is very helpful. Not sure if it's fully up to date:

Thank you Scott, I will certainly check it out

In addition to the site Scott mentions I find this one to also be helpful:

When checking gluten statis I use the word 'wheat' rather than gluten. Barley and rye are not used in medication that I have ever seen so I don't worry about those. Some folks are also sensitive to corn or dairy and those can be searched as inactive ingredients as well.

OP do be aware that if you are new to the diet as you heal your medication doses may need to be adjusted by your doctor as your intestines heal and you are able to absorb medications better.

You can search any prescription drug here, and find the maker, then see all ingredients:

A classic CYA response, but their answer means that yes, Alprazolam 0.25 TABLETS contain zero gluten ingredients.

@Scott Adams I would say it means , no it is not verified gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I also have OCD. So that answer is entirely too vague for me. However , if it suits others then I am happy for those individuals

You may want to search the same site for other makers of the drug, if there are any. Many times generic manufacturers make the same drugs using different inactive ingredients.

To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area.
