New painkiller, Journavx

[Lotte18]

Hi all, I have to have gum surgery tomorrow and was wondering if I should ask for this new drug, Journavx, instead of Vicodin.  I tried looking it up online and got, Not gluten free.  There is no gluten in the ingredients for this drug.  ????  Has anyone else had experience with Journavx?  Advice?  

Many thanks, Charlotte

You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication:

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.

When I looked this one up I didn't see any gluten ingredients.

Could be made on non-dedicated line that also produces meds that aren’t gluten-free.  Trace amount over extended time can cause symptoms while source is difficult to identify. 

And with any new med drug, there’s not a lot of experience/ history on reactions or side effects.  Find what is known at ‘dailymed ‘ website. This is NIH’s drug registry & manufacturers are required update info whenever changes occur.
