Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

[Zepplyn]

Hi,

im finding old posts and tried to email/call and haven’t gotten a call back yet.  Does anyone know if these are in fact gluten free?  It would explain A LOT if they were not, back to the drawing board if they are.  Any feedback anyone received from the come would be greatly appreciated.

If this is an injection, you don’t need to worry.   You don’t inject gluten and even if you did - it can’t cause a celiac reaction.  The celiac reaction to gluten happens in the small intestine.

It looks like there are several formulations, oral, intranasal and injectable.  About which one are you concerned?

Hi, the oral.

Thanks

Yes, the oral tablets I get.

I’m trying to find the official prescribing information that would list the ingredients.  Are you in the US? And is the manufacturer Sandoz or Dr Reddy?  I can’t find prescribing information for Dr Reddy’s tablets on their website but maybe I can find it on the FDA website if it is a US drug.  I found it for Canadian Sandoz tablets which includes lactose (which affects some with celiac) and sodium starch glycolate (highly processed but the starch source is not listed).

I’ll look again if you can tell me what strength tablet you take and in what country it is purchased, although I am most used to searching for US drugs.

Wow, thank you so much! 
yes, I am in US, I believe dr reddys is from India, but have plants here in US.  I just ordered a refill and will have tomorrow, but I take the 100 mg tablets.  I came across a Post on another celiac support group from years ago stating they were not gluten-free, so I emailed and tried to call today with no response yet, I figured I’d try here to see if someone else had already went this route.

The FDA website does not include the package insert, and I couldn't find it on the Dr. Reddy website, either.  Sorry. I hope you can get the ingredient information directly from Dr. Reddy.

Geez, I thank you so much for all your trouble, I really appreciate it!  I’ll post something if they ever respond to me.
