Clonazepam By Actavis

I was taken Clonazepam by Accord, with no problem. Today my Pharmacist informed me that they are not able to get that Mfg. any longer and they only have the one by Actavis :angry: I called Purepac who makes Actavis and was told that it is gluten-free, but they can not certify it because they do not test for Gluten. :unsure:

I am just wondering if any one has takeng it, and if there has been any reactions.

Thanks,

:)

I take Clonazepam by Mylan and have had no problems with that. They also could not guarantee anything since they don't test for it.

Thanks for replying! :) I went ahead and took my ususal dosage one last night, and one this morning and so far no side effects. I was really stressed over this; for someone who suffers from Anxiety, the added stress over the meds. does not help at all. :(

I wish they would stop adding gluten to medicines, is it not bad enough that we have to worry about the food we intake, but medicines too???? :angry:

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
