Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have a letter from Pfizer UK that says although " as far as they know " the tablets do not contain gluten they go down a line that is not gluten free and so inspra is not suitable for sper-sensitive coeliacs as the ppm could be above 2. Helen These are the weasel words from the Pfizer statement: >The accuracy of our statements is based upon the > final product composition formula only and cannot guarantee that > minute amounts of substances are not contained in raw materials > obtained from various suppliers for our manufacturing process. AND > Table 1. Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceutical Products That Do NOT list Wheat, > Barley, Oats, and/or Rye as Ingredients > Just because it isn't listed doesn't mean it doesn't contain it. We coeliacs have found that out the hard way. They have managed to cover themselves very well by passing the buck onto their suppliers.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi Helen, Good for you the Pfizer in your country cares to make a reply. Pfizer Philippines never even replied to my inquiry on making Inspra available here in my country. I emailed Pfizer homebase and they just referred me back to Pfizer Philippines. > > I have a letter from Pfizer UK that says although " as far as they > know " the tablets do not contain gluten they go down a line that is > not gluten free and so inspra is not suitable for sper-sensitive > coeliacs as the ppm could be above 2. > > > Helen > > These are the weasel words from the Pfizer statement: > > >The accuracy of our statements is based upon the > > final product composition formula only and cannot guarantee that > > minute amounts of substances are not contained in raw materials > > obtained from various suppliers for our manufacturing process. > > > AND > > > > Table 1.
