Hello, Wondering as I was taking Levoxyl for ten plus years and then in April 2013 had to start with another replacement as it was taken off the market. My question as it is on the market to use now is there any concerns with gluten in the products with the companies changing hands, and would there be any problems with cross contamination in the process? If not I will change what I am taking now even though I believe the company is not making a 75 dose, will take a 50 with a split. Will Pfizer have the 75 strength back on the market in the future? Thank~you for your response, Dusty ## Hi Dusty, According to Pfizer, Levoxyl (Levothyroxine Sodium) tablets contain the following list of inactive ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose + croscarmellose sodium + magnesium stearate + calcium s...

As to the inactive ingredients, I am not sure what would be a problem if you have a gluten allergy, so I am just going to list them for you: Anhydrous lactose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, corn start and FD&C Yellow No. 6 Lake. Is there anything else I can help with?

Is hydralazine gluten free? ## Hydralazine is actually a generic medication, so it's manufactured by several different companies, which means that I can't check if the one you have is gluten free, without knowing who the manufacturer is of your tablets.

Is Allopurinol mfg by qualitest gluten free? ## Hi edb, From what I could gather, Allopurinol from Qualitest contains the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium starch glycolate.

is AMLODIPINE mfg Qualitest gluten free? ## Based on my research, each tablet of Amlodipine besylate manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals contains the following inactive ingredients: dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium starch glycolate. Unfortunately "sodium starch glycolate" is considered to be gluten and toxic to those who have severe cases of Celiac disease. This particular filler is common in many medications. So if you haven't already done so, I would probably make your doctor and pharmacist aware of your intolerance before filling any future prescriptions.
