Hi everyone! I was recently prescribed venlafaxine HCL ER (the generic of Effexor) produced by Zydus Pharmaceuticals. I know the brand name drug is gluten free but the water is always murky when dealing with generics. Can anyone find gluten information on their website or know of a number I can call to confirm? I tried reaching out via email and have not heard back.

Thanks Scott! I already tried that here. Is the best course of action just to google each specific ingredient since gluten does not have to specifically be identified?

Here are the inactive ingredients.  None of these should contain gluten.  You would need to ask the manufacturer if there is any risk of contamination. In the unlikely event that there was contamination, the amount you might ingest from a small capsule would be very, very tiny.

SILICON DIOXIDE (UNII: ETJ7Z6XBU4)  

CETOSTEARYL ALCOHOL (UNII: 2DMT128M1S)  

GELATIN (UNII: 2G86QN327L)  

HYPROMELLOSES (UNII: 3NXW29V3WO)  

CELLULOSE, MICROCRYSTALLINE (UNII: OP1R32D61U)  

ETHYL ACRYLATE AND METHYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER (2:1; 750000 MW) (UNII: P2OM2Q86BI)  

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (UNII: 368GB5141J)  

TALC (UNII: 7SEV7J4R1U)  

TITANIUM DIOXIDE (UNII: 15FIX9V2JP)  

FERRIC OXIDE RED (UNII: 1K09F3G675)  

FERROSOFERRIC OXIDE (UNII: XM0M87F357)

Thank you all! I am a very recent celiac diagnosis and accidentally took a medication with gluten in it a few months ago so I am just weary!

Best way to check for CC might be to call the manufacturer and ask if the med is produced on a dedicated line. You can get the manufacturer's phone number from the pharmacy vendor that handles it.

Is it feasible to get the brand-name version of the drug?

We have that information. The problem is with the generic that the OP actually uses.

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
