Inactive Ingrediants For Sprintec And Mono-linyah
Updatedare the inactive ingrediants the same for sprintec and mono-linyah. picked up my daughter's refill of sprintec today and they substituted with mono-linyah. The pharmacy staff reassured me everything was identical. My daughter is afraid to take it because she has had sensitivities before and had just completed a year long course of acne treatment. They claim that sprintec is unavailable and have no idea if and when they will get it in.

Hi Jane,
Based on my research, these medication "do" contain a different set of inactive ingredients.
Each blue Sprintec tablet is said to contain the following inactive ingredients: anhydrous lactose, FD&C blue no. 2 aluminum lake, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, and pregelatinized starch.
Each white tablet contains only inert ingredients as follows: anhydrous lactose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2208, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose.
Each blue Mono-Linyah tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: FD&C Blue No. 2 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow No. 5 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue No.1 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Red No. 40 Aluminum Lake, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, macrogol/polyethylene glycol 3350 NF, lecithin, lactose, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized corn starch.
Each white tablet contains only inert ingredients, as follows: Titanium dioxide, polydextrose, hypromellose, triacetin, polyethylene glycol, lactose, magnesium stearate and pregelatinized corn starch.
This information can be found on gov. webpages, so I would consider it a reliable source.
I hope this helps to answer your question!
The same exact thing happened to me last month 2014. Its must be a lie they can't get it. The other pills were better. I'm using them for my skin too. I hate this other generic company. I hope they dont contain wheat.
