Croscarmellose Sodium

What is croscarmellose sodium made from? Could it be made from corn? ## Hi Bee, According to an article on wikipedia, Croscarmellose is reportedly made by a process of mixing crude cellulose in with sodium hydroxide and then taking the cellulose and reacting it with sodium monochloroacetate to form sodium carboxymethylcellulose (which is the chemical name for it). Most reports I found suggest that the cellulose being used is made from corn. However you might still want to contact the manufacturer of whatever pill you're taking just to be on the safe side if it's an ingredient you need to watch out for. I hope this helps!

Is Naproxen Sodium by Amneal gluten free? ## Hi Susan - I think so. Can you please list exactly which variation you have? How many mg is your tablet? And can you list either the NDC code or the markings on your tablets? I see about a dozen variations of Naproxen from Amneal under various NDC codes. For instance, a white 250 mg tablet with markings IP188 on one side and 250 on the other lists the following inactive ingredients: (NDC 53746-188) - Croscarmellose Sodium - Povidone - Magnesium Stearate But that may not line up with the exact tablet which you have, so if you could please respond with more details? ## Is Naproxen 250mg tablet from Amneal gluten free?

Is levoxyl gluten free? ## No, the name brand does not, the inactive ingredients are: Microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate. IS there anything else I can help you with? ## Microcrystalline cellulose CAN CONTAIN GLUTEN. I have a reaction to it 45 minutes after taking it every morning. If I take another medication that contains Microcrystalline cellulose such as a blood pressure medication. I am unable to leave the house due to Dh. I called the manufacture of a medication that I suspected was the problem and was told that they did not have to list Diarrhea as a side effect because the medication was not causing it the filler was. Really?

Are naproxen 500 Mg tabs gluten free? ## @Wm1202, From what I could gather, the inactive ingredients in Naproxen 500 mg tablets are as follows: -[Croscarmellose sodium]- This comes from wood pulp or cotton fibers. It contains no sugar or starch. -[Povidone]- This is made from synthetic polymers -[Magnesium stearate]- 'Well, we know magnesium is gluten free...' Having seen that list I think it's safe to say that any Naproxen containing this particular set of inactive ingredients is deemed gluten-free. Please be aware however that binders/fillers may be subject to change from one product to the next. I hope this helps!
