Filler Pills

I am using orally 10 to 20 mgs. daily of your methadone pills. I have allergic problems with talc. Do your methadone pills contain any talc? If so, do you offer your pills without talc? I have been prescribed methadone for pain management for 7 years. I use methadone for breakthrough pain that is not controlled by the morphine/clonidine mixture in my Medatronics intrathecal pump. Our local pharmacist has filled my prescriptions over the years usually with your 10 mg. larger modified rectangular pills. I say larger because on two occasions he filled my prescription with slightly smaller round pills (one time) and much smaller round pills (the other time). I have symptoms (Possibly due to talc in the pills?) of skin rash that does not go away even after dermatologist's prescriptions. ...

Any idea if oxy immediate release by Rhodes Pharma may be left over from a placebo study ? ## Starting last month, I was given these in 20mg tablets. I always feel sick, have a headache, and get no pain relief. It's awful. I just left a message for my dr to see if I can forfeit these, drop my dosage, and get another manufacturer. Something is really, really wrong with these pills. ## Unfortunately, not every product from every manufacturer works for everyone that tries it, since we are all different. I know that doesn't help your situation, I am just giving the basic facts. You are not the first to complain about this Oxycodone, and I am sure there will be more complaints, as well. It worked well for me, when I took it, after dental surgery, but that was several years ago, and I...

does brand adderrall, 20mg contain fillers? ## Yes, all tablets are going to contain one or more fillers/inactive ingredients. The inactive ingredients are listed as lacitol,, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide colloidal and magnesium stearate. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, anorexia and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Gabapentin 300 capsules do they contain a corn or soy fillers or binders ## Hi Brenda, Because there are a number of manufacturers who produce this drug (e.g. Actavis, Pfizer, Teva, etc), you would need to provide us with the exact imprint on the capsule in order to determine if "your specific capsule" of Gabapentin contains such ingredients. Just at a glance, I did see that both Actavis and Pfizer's 300mg Gabapentin lists corn starch as the second inactive ingredient used in its composition, but nothing in particular that mentioned soy. I hope this helps!

I had orange 36 05 pills (SB 7.5 hydrocodone / 325 acetaminophen). I noticed that they passed (in stool) almost intact. They gotta be fakes, right? ## Not necessarily, many pills contain fillers and have shells that are not intended to be broken down by the human body. They are normally expelled as waste, even though the medication itself is actually released and used. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation, they also carry the risk of being habit forming. The main question is, did they work for you to relieve pain?

What filler is used in Teva's production of metoprolol ## Hello, Mary! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet? Metoprolol is manufactured by many different companies, so I need more details, in order to research the correct information for you. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. ## Hi! Thanks for replying. Marking on metoprolol tablet is C74; manufacturer Aurobindo.

My perspective is that as Pharma companies buy up quality companies like Watson, who put the required amount of the main pain-killing ingredient in each tablet, they then put in MORE fillers and less narcotic ingredient. Patently, this is why people are having to take more of these generics and often, due to them receiving less narcotic, end up lapsing into withdrawal. ## Generics do have to meet certain quality and efficacy standards, under U.S. FDA law, just like the name brands do. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, they are allowed to differ by as much as plus or minus 20%, but in most cases that actually equals a miniscule amount. The FDA warns that narcotics carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dr...

Can anyone please tell me if the oxycodone Hcl with the imprint rp30 have tylenol in it or tell me what is the filler in this specific pill. Can't find many things on this kind and they just switched me to these and they seem to be a little different didn't know if it was because of the filler since they are so much bigger than my normal ones. Anything helps so thanks in advance! ## Hello, Jenny! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 30mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. So no, it doesn't contain any Tylenol/Acetaminophen. However, I've been unable to find a listing of the inactive ingredients, but your pharmacy should have that information available. But the inactive usually do explain a size dif...

I appreciate your time, does anyone know where I'd be able to find a list of fillers used in Adderall xr 20mg? A few years ago I was diagnosed with a blood allergy to corn and wheat and a few months ago I started having reactions every day about the same time as my medication was releasing. I have checked everywhere to find a list and have found nothing. I know it can vary, but if there is something I can at least reference because it just started recently. Thanks so much! ## Yes, it may vary if you are taking a generic or a name brand. However, in the name brand Adderall XR, the inactive ingredients are: gelatin capsules, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, methacrylic acid copolymer, opadry beige, sugar spheres, talc, and triethyl citrate. I don't see anything in this list that scr...

My doctor writes my prescription for Hydrodcod/Acetam 5-325 and the maker is Watson. When the drug store filled it last week it has M365 on the pill. I have taken three on three different days and noticed there was no relief. I took one pill 3 hrs ago and there has been no relief. That is the reason I took a pill out of the bottle and found the M365 stamped on the pill. If they are suppose to be the same - why is the pain still there? ## The M365 pills are indeed hydrocodone (5mg) + acetaminophen (325mg); however it may be that certain binders/fillers in these tablets affect bioavailability or how well they get absorbed into your system vs the other brand you're used to taking. If I were in this position, I'd probably see if the prescribing doctor could specify a particular manu...

I have a severe allergy that I have had for a year and a half now. I break out all over in the itchiest pimple like sores. They either have no liquid in them or sometimes a small amount of clear fluid. No puss. It has gotten worse over the past year and a half to where I now get huge hives and random swelling that is very painful. sometimes a foot or a hand but it's not like normal edema swelling, this is painful and a tighter swelling, definitely part of the reaction. I have no health insurance so after looking everywhere possible i cannot find anywhere to get the extremely expensive tests I would need to pin point the cause of this. my hands will get hot and then itch like crazy, my extremely thick hair has thinned to the point in the front where If something doesn't happen so...

pink oval shape imprinted with E101,10 mg what fillers do you use ## this site does not manufacture this tablet, nor any other products, this is an information only website. The tablet with the E 101 marking is manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and, aside from the active ingredient of 10mgs Lisinopril, they list the inactives as being calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, mannitol and corn starch. Is there anything else I can help you with?

I am very sensitive to fillers and have just learned that "MYLAN" has discontinued it's Lorazepam. I cannot find a brand using the same inactive ingredients as MYLAN, which I tolerate well.

Metoprolol succinate 25mg made by Mtg. Lannett Company - What fillers are used? I've been having stomach pains and can take up to 6 daily. ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? Can you please post back with this information? The reason I am asking is because sometimes the manufacturer listed on a bottle from your pharmacy is just a licensed distributor, not the actual manufacturer, so I need more information to find the correct details for you. The FDA does warn that Metoprolol may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. What are you taking it to treat? It is very unusual for this medication to be prescribed for anyone to take up to 6 daily, since it is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain ...

Hello, Got a new refill on my Losartan 25mg. which was a small green pill versus the normal oval white. I started the new ones yesterday and within a half hour of taking them I develope a headache. Stayed with me all day. Not a pounding debilitating one but just a constant nagging headache. Today I woke up fine but within a half hour of taking my pill I have a headache again. Same as yesterday. Not sure if this is being caused by something in the new pill "fillers" as they call them. Just know I never had this issue until I started the green losartan yesterday. Do I wait a few more days and risk that this is going to continue as a side effect? Not that it makes me unable to function but it is an irritation that I never had to deal with in the past on Losartan. Being the holiday ...
