Hidden ingredient in your pills may change how your body absorbs medicine

NCT ID NCT04534153

Summary

This study investigated whether sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a common non-drug ingredient added to medications, affects how the body absorbs the allergy drug fexofenadine. Researchers compared absorption when healthy volunteers took the drug alone versus with two different amounts of SLS. The goal was to understand if this common additive changes how much medication gets into the bloodstream.
