Propoxyphene-n 100 W/apap 650 Tabs (darvocet)

Does anyone know how I can find out if my medication is gluten-free?

It is Propoxyphene-N 100 W/APAP 650 Tabs - The generic for Darvocet. The manufacturer is QUALITEST. I found a gluten-free drug list that listed this drug (Propoxyphene-N) but it had a different manufacturer. Do I have to contact the mfr?

Thanks :)

The Clan Thompson Drug List says:

Darvocet is "UNKNOWN" because suppliers change all the time.

Qualitest is a mfg listed, but not this drug.

SO, I would tell pharmacist that they MUST find out for you.

Good luck. I am Jewish, not practicing much, live in Virginia. Don't keep Kosher have enough problems with gluten-free, let alone trying to keep parev dietary restrictions! I travel too much for my job and have a horrendous time staying gluten-free on travel - and I normally do not succeed completely.

This gluten-free thing is a real mitzvah to one's health.

Franceen - Thanks! I am not Kosher, either - But I don't eat pork or shellfish and I try not to combine dairy and meat when possible. You're right about gluten-free being a mitzvah to one's health!

How confusing re: Darvocet. I guess I will, contact the pharmacy, and then also contact Qualitest.

How annoying!

Thansk for the help

      Welcome to the forum, @wellthatsfun! Count your blessings that you were diagnosed so young.  Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper!  Some of us old farts went undiagnosed for a long time and we're a bit more life worn, but there's a wealth of wisdom here.   Do know that many people go through a period of grief after diagnosis that's normal.  Look into the five stages of grief.  You'll adjust, but for now, venting is understandable.    Sending {{{hugs}}}

      It's on this site.  Click in my name.  Look for the pull down menu that says "Activities" and chose "blog".  Oh, there's the link!     You can send personal messages through this site, too, if you like.

      It's part of the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  Yes, I lost weight, too.  We can use up our B vitamins quickly when we're ill.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost.  Supplementing can help ensure we're getting the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to function well.  Many vitamins can be low in the newly diagnosed.  Vitamin D can also be low.  Minerals like iron and magnesium can be low, too.  You'll feel better once you restore the nutrients.
