Information on capsules

Why has the galenic form of PADMA 28 changed (in some countries)?
The new pharmaceutical form has been adapted to customer needs. The smooth capsules are easier to swallow than the rough tablets, and the sometimes unpleasantly perceived taste is neutralised. Furthermore, a considerable reduction of additives is an added benefit, and sorbitol can be fully omitted.

Is the efficacy / dosage of PADMA 28 capsules still the same as the tablets?
Yes. The amount of active ingredients in a capsule is identical to a tablet. The dosage is unaltered: 3 x 2 capsules daily. The maintenance dosage is 1-2 capsules daily.

Are the tablets still available?
The tablets are available in pharmacies and drugstores while stock last.

Can PADMA 28 be taken without the capsule?
Yes, the capsule may be opened and the content mixed with e.g. some liquid, yoghurt or mashed banana.

Why not use cellulose capsules / vegicaps?
Although PADMA Ltd also produces food supplements, our main focus is on medicinal products. We have decided, therefore, to apply the same exacting quality standards of medicinal products to all our products which for the PADMA formulas can only be met with gelatine capsules. For this reason vegi capsules cannot be used at present. PADMA Ltd. follows the development in this area and hopes to find alternative capsule substances in the not too distant future. To this aim our experts are in close contact with the important producers.
