Cyclobenzaprine From Aurobindo Pharm


TiaMichi2

Hi,

My Pharmacy just changed suppliers on one of my meds. The new suplier is Aurobindo Pharm. and I am wondering if anyone here has taken it, without any issues.

I have been trying to reach them for about an hour, been transfered 3 times and they end up transfering me somewhere else. :angry: No one seems to be able to give me a response, so I am weary to take it.

It is the generic for Flexeril. The pill itself looks completely different a lot bigger,orange color, triangular on the right, and straight on the left, with a letter "D" and a number 87 on one side. It is the 5 mg.

Thanks,

-Miriam :blink:

Hi Sylvia,

Yes I checked there first, but wanted to make sure with the actual company that makes the medicine.

On the glutenfreedrugs website it lists flexeril and cyclobenzaprine as gluten-free, but on the generic it only lists 3 manufacturers, and Aurobindo not being one of them, I wondered.

Good news however, they called me an hour ago, and it turns out that in fact it is gluten-free.

Thanks again,

-Miriam

Glad you found out it is gluten-free, Miriam! In very rare instances (like an excruciating toothache with a scrip for an antibiotic and vicodin), I've also asked to see the printout of the meds to check the ingredients as I had just come from the dentist and needed something fast. Not my preferred way of doing it but I didn't have time for the pharmacist to check with the manufacturer.

      Thanks for replying. She has anxiety so always thinks the worst!!!GP is going to refer her for a scan and hopefully getting bloods done this week. Have mentioned food diary to her before so will mention it again

      She is waiting to get bloods done to check for various things including bone profile. As far as I know she does a lot of cooking from scratch, lots of veg, chicken. She’s never been a fan of processed foods like cold ham but does like bacon and will also buy gluten free sausages. Shares a flat with her friend who is aware of her coeliac. As far as I’m aware they’re very careful about cross contamination but I know it’s possible it happens from time to time

      @Heatherisle, Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?   A combination of Thiamine Hydrochloride (or Benfotiamine) and B12 and Pyridoxine B6 relieves pain as well as over-the-counter pain relievers.  What sort of food does she eat on the GFD?  Many gluten free processed foods?

      Your doctor is incorrect! Your positive DQB1*02 is all you need to develop Celiac disease.  Just having one copy is sufficient to develop Celiac.   Reference: Carrier frequency of HLA-DQB1*02 allele in patients affected with celiac disease: A systematic review assessing the potential rationale of a targeted allelic genotyping as a first-line screening "...importantly, a comparable risk of celiac disease development was present in individuals carrying a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02 alleles, no matter the paired HLA-DQA1 alleles." And... "If we could consider a mass screening looking for the carrier status of HLA-DQB1*02 only, we may identify 95% of celiac disease predisposed patients and, concomitantly, rule out (with no more than a 5% error) the lifetime risk of disease in 60%-70% of the general population: These non-predisposed individuals should never receive the serological screening, unless any consistent clinical symptoms appear at some point of the existence without any other explanation." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7109277/ Classical celiac disease is more frequent with a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02: A systematic review with meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6375622/ Also, the Malabsorption of Celiac can cause low B vitamins (and minerals) that are related to poor oral health.
