Kremers Urban Omeprazole 40 Mg Gluten Free

Updated

I am looking for information about Kremers Urban Brand generic omeprazole 40 MG - whether it's gluten free or not? Currently using omeprazole 40 MG that is compounded at a local pharmacy, but am looking to see if there is another option. It's beginning to be costly. Previously called the Kremers Urban Brand about 2 years ago and they wound not and could not confirm whether it was safe to use or not. Looking to see if anything's changed. Thanks.

Hi Christina,

According to nih.gov, each delayed-release capsule (from Kremers Urban Pharmaceuticals Inc.) contains either 10 mg (NDC 62175-114), 20 mg (NDC 62175-118), or 40 mg (NDC 62175-136) of Omeprazole in the form of capsules with one or more of the following inactive ingredients:

- Crospovidone
- Gelatin
- Glyceryl Dibehenate
- Hypromelloses
- Lactose Monohydrate
- Silicon Dioxide
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Ferrosoferric Oxide
- Talc
- Titanium Dioxide
- Triethyl Citrate
- Ferric Oxide Yellow
- Shellac
- Methacrylic Acid - Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer (1:1)
- Ammonia
- Butyl Alcohol
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Aluminum Chlorohydrex Propylene Glycol
- Alcohol

Ref: DailyMed

After seeing those ingredients, it doesn't appear to contain any gluten or starches that I'm aware of.

Although some ingredients could possibly be derivatives of gluten, it would require further research to verify this.

I hope this information helps!

I don't know what ingredients would, or would not be considered gluten.

However, what may help is that I can tell you that the generic 40mg capsule from Mylan is listed on the gluten free drug list.

That may be something that you can have your pharmacist double check and see if they can order it in for you.

Do you have a gluten allergy?
