Review "Inert" Drug Ingredients

A recent study found that the “inactive” ingredients used in many prescription drugs aren’t so inactive, and in fact impact many of the body’s molecular processes. The authors identified 38 inactive ingredients that interacted with 44 molecular targets; in some cases the level of activity observed was similar to that exhibited by active ingredients. These included ingredients meant to be used as food dyes, preservatives, and disinfectants, such as D&C red no. 28, propylparaben, benzethonium chloride, and thimerosal, a derivative of mercury that is used in some vaccines, mascaras, and eye contact solutions.

Send a message to Congress and the FDA, telling the agency to do a better job of reviewing so-called "inert" drug ingredients for safety.

A recent study found that the "inactive" ingredients used in many prescription drugs aren't so inactive, and in fact impact many of the body's molecular processes. The authors identified 38 inactive ingredients that interacted with 44 molecular targets; in some cases the level of activity observed was similar to that exhibited by active ingredients. These included ingredients meant to be used as food dyes, preservatives, and disinfectants, such as D&C red no. 28, propylparaben, benzethonium chloride, and thimerosal, a derivative of mercury that is used in some vaccines, mascaras, and eye contact solutions.

Most of the molecular targets the "inactive" ingredients acted upon were outside the digestive system where most drugs end up. But patients taking multiple medications with these ingredients, patients with leaky gut, or those taking IV medications could face risk from inactive ingredients in drugs--not to mention the active ingredients!

It's important for us to have this information, as well as information about natural medicines which do not present most of these dangers--but the government is gagging information about these treatments in relation to COVID-19 and beyond.

The FDA must do a better job reviewing so-called "inert" drug ingredients for safety.
