Can Cobadex Forte Develop Cysts In The Inner Part Of Body?
Question: If we use cobadex forte for continously for 15 years can it have any kind of side effects because cover of capsule is also being digested for 15 years in the stomach, can this digestion of capsule cover create cyst in any inner part of body, because either God knows or manufacturing Co. Knows for what is being used to manufacture these capsule covers .
Brief Answer:
Certain inert substances are used to prepare the capsule covers
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hi
Good afternoon!
I appreciate your concern for the safety of "cover of the capsule" of Cobadex forte.
There is no documented evidence of development of "cysts in the inner part of the body" after taking Cobadex forte for years together.
The cover of the capsule contains gelatinous inert substances enclosing the active ingredients of the medicine and designed to remain intact for some hours after ingestion in order to delay absorption.
The inner substances are mainly natural or synthetic polymers e.g. starches, sugars, sugar alcohols and cellulose derivatives that are insoluble in acid, e.g. cellulose acetate phthalate, are used for to delay release of the active ingredient.
After they have been found to be safe only they are marketed by the pharmaceutical companies. However, there remains a remote possibility of allergic reaction because of these substances other wise on on prolonged use such as for more than 15 years they remain to be safe.
So, nothing to worry about.
Hope to have answered your query.
A feed back is appreciated if you are convinced.
