Q: Does Starlix 60mg contain any red dye? I am on a low iodine diet and cannot have any red dyes.
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your question! According to the packaging information (which comes from Starlix's manufacturer, Novartis), the following are inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, iron oxides (red or yellow), lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, talc, and titanium dioxide. I hope this helps you!
Best of luck,
Casey
Nancy-
Hello! You can call your local pharmacy and they will give you a list of the ingredients to Starlix, they will also be able to tell you if it contains any red dyes. Click here "Starlix" and it will take you to the Novartis, the manufacture's website. I hope this helps you out.
Good Luck
