Is Pramipexole gluten-free?

I was wondering whether anyone knew if Pramipexole (the generic version of Mirapex) contains any gluten or is processed in a facility which shares gluten. I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease over a year ago and despite following a very strict gluten free diet, I have not improved at all. So I'm looking into my medications. For the past month, Walgreens has tried contacting this drug company to see if they can get any information, but the company keeps dragging its heals and not getting back to the pharmacist. Walgreens said that they no longer sell the original brand and that they would have to special order it for me. Your insight would be most helpful.

You could try getting the name of the maker and call them yourself. The place that I get scripts from puts the maker's name in small letters on the bottle. Usually if you do a search with the company name and the words contact info you will find the info pretty quickly.

I was able to contact the director of glutenfreedrugs.com and he told me that mine is ok and not to worry about it (the manufacturer of mine is Glenmark.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
