Ingredient	Purpose	Common Allergen?	Description
Lactose Monohydrate	Filler/Binder	⚠️ Yes — Dairy	A sugar derived from milk. Common allergen for lactose-intolerant individuals and those with dairy allergies.
Propylene Glycol	Solvent/Humectant	⚠️ Yes — Propylene Glycol	An organic compound used as a solvent and humectant. Can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate	Wetting Agent	⚠️ Yes — Surfactant	A surfactant used to improve drug dissolution. Can cause skin irritation in some individuals.
Ammonia Solution	pH Adjuster	No	Dilute ammonia used to adjust pH in pharmaceutical formulations. Present in trace amounts in the final product.
Calcium Stearate	Lubricant	No	A calcium salt of stearic acid used as a tablet lubricant to prevent sticking during manufacturing.
Carnauba Wax	Coating/Polish	No	A natural wax from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree. Used to polish and gloss-coat tablets. Plant-derived.
Ferric Oxide Yellow	Colorant	No	Yellow iron oxide pigment used in tablet coatings and capsule shells. A mineral-based colorant.
Ferrosoferric Oxide	Colorant	No	Black iron oxide used as a pigment in tablet coatings and capsule shells. Derived from iron, not from food allergen sources.
Hydroxypropyl Cellulose	Binder/Coating	No	A cellulose derivative used as a binder, film-coating agent, and thickener. Plant-derived.
Hypromellose	Coating	No	A semisynthetic polymer used for tablet coating. Derived from cellulose.
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.
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.
Shellac	Coating Agent	No	A natural resin secreted by the lac insect. Used as an enteric coating for tablets and as a glazing agent. Derived from insects — relevant for vegan, vegetarian, and some religious dietary considerations.
Sodium Carbonate	pH Adjuster/Buffer	No	Washing soda. Used as an alkalizing agent and buffering agent in pharmaceutical formulations.
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.
