Ingredient	Purpose	Common Allergen?	Description
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium	Thickener/Stabilizer	⚠️ Yes — CMC	A cellulose derivative used as a thickener. Rare CMC reactions reported in medical literature.
Polyethylene Glycol 3350	Coating/Osmotic Agent	⚠️ Yes — PEG	A higher-molecular-weight PEG used in tablet coatings and as the active ingredient in osmotic laxatives (MiraLAX). Rare PEG allergies documented.
Ferric Oxide Red	Colorant	No	Red iron oxide pigment used in tablet coatings and capsule shells. A mineral-based colorant, distinct from FD&C synthetic dyes.
Ferric Oxide Yellow	Colorant	No	Yellow iron oxide pigment used in tablet coatings and capsule shells. A mineral-based colorant.
Hypromellose 2910 (15 Mpa.s)	Coating/Thickener	No	A higher-viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose used for sustained-release coatings and thickening. Plant-derived.
Magnesium Stearate	Lubricant	No	A lubricant that prevents ingredients from sticking to manufacturing equipment.
Methacrylic Acid - Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer (1:1)	Enteric Coating	No	An acrylic polymer (Eudragit L100) used for enteric coating that dissolves in the intestine rather than the stomach.
Methacrylic Acid - Methyl Methacrylate Copolymer (1:2)	Enteric Coating	No	An acrylic polymer (Eudragit S) that dissolves at pH 7+, targeting drug release to the colon.
Microcrystalline Cellulose	Filler/Binder	No	Refined wood pulp used as a filler and binder. Generally inert and well-tolerated.
Polyvinyl Alcohol	Coating Agent/Stabilizer	No	A synthetic polymer used in film coatings for tablets and as a stabilizer in ophthalmic solutions.
Silicon Dioxide	Glidant	No	A mineral (silica) used to improve powder flow during tablet manufacturing. Also called colloidal silicon dioxide.
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.
Talc	Glidant/Lubricant	No	A mineral used to improve powder flow in manufacturing.
Titanium Dioxide	Colorant/Opacifier	No	A white pigment used for coating opacity. Under regulatory review in some countries.
Triethyl Citrate	Plasticizer	No	A citric acid ester used as a plasticizer in enteric coatings and controlled-release formulations.
