Is Percocet Gluten Free?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if the brand name of Percocet is gluten free? Or even the generic form? I'm having a hard time finding out who the manufacturer of the generic form is. Anyone know? I'm having surgery on Monday, so I just want to be prepared.

Thanks you all! :)

Thanks Ginny,

I did see that, but I just wondered if anyone had any recent information. Sometimes I don't trust the glutenfreedrugs.com.

Anyway, seems like I was wrong about me being hyperthyroid when I posted bout it 4 weeks ago. My endo lowered my dose, but I still was having night sweats, low grad night fevers, abdominal and back tenderness and just feeling very tried. And I was feeling so good for six months. So I went to my oncology doctor and he ordered another CT scan for my enlarged lymph nodes and they are now 1 cm bigger than they were two months ago. So now he wants to get them biopsied on Monday. It came up rather fast. I just had the CT scan done 3 days ago and I found out to day they wanted to have the surgery on Monday. I'm trying not too think about it too much. I'm not feeling good enough to try to stress about it. I just want them to figure it out. The doctors think it's either lymphoma or another autoimmune disease. Neither one sounds good to me. But if it is a lymphoma, they told me it's at it's beginning stage and it's very treatable. I'll have to post about this on another section when I get a chance and have more energy. I really wondered how many of us have been through this. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers!

Thanks Ginny! :)

Thanks Ginny! You are so sweet! I need all the prayers I can get! :)

I just wanted to tell you all I did call the Endo Pharmaceutical company yesterday. They make the brand name Percocet. The rep did tell me that they don't add gluten to the product, but they couldn't confirm wither the product is made on shared lines or not and more less couldn't guarantee it's completely gluten free. A women named Marget really gave me a hard time. It was like pulling teeth for the information. I called early Friday morning and she said she was going to call me back, but never did. So I called them again and they told me they won't be able to give me that information until Monday -well Monday I'm having surgery and that's too late. I couldn't believe they didn't have this information in their system. Then they told me I should have called earlier to do more research. Well- I didn't know I was going to have surgery on Monday until Thursday evening, so how could've I called any earlier??? Sorry, I just have to vent... I'm just so fustrated... :ph34r: And I even called my pharmacy to find out about their generic brands and the rep told them that they could be CC because they are made on the same lines with gluten. I really don't do well on any other pain pills and Percocet was always the one that worked for me so it looks like I'm stuck with it even though there may be a chance of CC. :( What the heck is wrong with these companies???? I guess my plan is now to just take the brand name Percocet and if I have reactions I'll have to stop them and call my doctor for something else or just take plain old Motrin... I'm such a baby... I don't like pain.... :(

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks everyone!

I have been on percocet and Oxycontin for years and have not had any problem with gluten ...I have always had the generic percocet and both name and generic oxi ...I checked with the pharmacist and the said it was gluten free but there is no way to guarantee CC ..I think you should call the Pharmaceutical company and file a complaint with the manager about the lack of compassion their customer service reps showed you ..That is just not acceptable ...I wish you the best and you will be fine ...How could you not be with your whole celiac family praying for you ? :)

HI BillyJ,

Thanks so much! You are so kind! :) Do you know the name of the company that your pharmacy uses for the generic Percocet that you used? I heard there are quite a few. I called my pharmacy and the company they use is Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. The pharmacy said they called them and the rep told them that they don't put gluten in there percocet, but they are made on the same lines that gluten products are made on. I'm very sensitive and I know I would probably have a reaction to them since I can't eat anything made on shared lines. Does that company sound familiar to you or is your from a differnet company?

Thanks so much for all your help!!!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
