Ingredient	Purpose	Common Allergen?	Description
Hypromellose 2910 (3 Mpa.s)	Coating/Binder	No	A low-viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) used for thin film coatings. Plant-derived cellulose polymer.
Hypromellose 2910 (6 Mpa.s)	Coating/Binder	No	A specific grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) used as a film-coating agent and binder. Plant-derived cellulose polymer.
Magnesium Stearate	Lubricant	No	A lubricant that prevents ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment.
Microcrystalline Cellulose	Filler/Binder	No	Refined wood pulp used as a filler and binder. Generally inert and well-tolerated.
Polyethylene Glycol 400	Solvent/Plasticizer	No	A low-molecular-weight PEG used as a solvent and plasticizer in oral and topical formulations. Rare but documented allergic reactions to PEG compounds.
Polyethylene Glycol 8000	Coating/Binder	No	A high-molecular-weight PEG used in tablet coatings and as a binder. Rare PEG allergies have been documented.
Polysorbate 80	Emulsifier/Solubilizer	No	A non-ionic surfactant used to dissolve and stabilize ingredients that do not mix well with water. Derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. Rare hypersensitivity reactions reported.
Sodium Starch Glycolate Type A	Disintegrant	No	A modified starch (typically potato-derived) that swells rapidly in water, helping tablets break apart for faster drug release.
Titanium Dioxide	Colorant/Opacifier	No	A white pigment used for coating opacity. Under regulatory review in some countries.
