Propoxyphene-n 100 W/apap 650 Tabs (darvocet)

[hineini]

Does anyone know how I can find out if my medication is gluten-free?

It is Propoxyphene-N 100 W/APAP 650 Tabs - The generic for Darvocet. The manufacturer is QUALITEST. I found a gluten-free drug list that listed this drug (Propoxyphene-N) but it had a different manufacturer. Do I have to contact the mfr?

Thanks

The Clan Thompson Drug List says:

Darvocet is "UNKNOWN" because suppliers change all the time.

Qualitest is a mfg listed, but not this drug.

SO, I would tell pharmacist that they MUST find out for you.

Good luck. I am Jewish, not practicing much, live in Virginia. Don't keep Kosher have enough problems with gluten-free, let alone trying to keep parev dietary restrictions! I travel too much for my job and have a horrendous time staying gluten-free on travel - and I normally do not succeed completely.

This gluten-free thing is a real mitzvah to one's health.

Franceen - Thanks! I am not Kosher, either - But I don't eat pork or shellfish and I try not to combine dairy and meat when possible. You're right about gluten-free being a mitzvah to one's health!

How confusing re: Darvocet. I guess I will, contact the pharmacy, and then also contact Qualitest.

How annoying!

Thansk for the help
