Red Dye

[Joan Pandas Mom]

I think there might be a connection with my son too. I'm not sure, but was trying to eliminate it. We did start Azithro 1 week ago, which has red dye in it.

Didn't think about the red dye in the zithro tablets. I always asked for the clear liquid amoxicillin when she was little, because the pink obviously has red dye. Is there a white zithro tablet? Seems to me I have taken white ones before...

We've gotten white Azith. pills, and also reddish brown Azith. pills.

This just another way the FDA in the US is failing to protect children by allowing these horrible dyes in food and drink and medications when most of the rest of the world has banned them, knowing their toxic effects!

 

to the mom who mentioned giving something as an antidote to the dye...my question would be why??? surely it is better to not give your child something harmful at all, than let them have it and then give something to mask the bad reaction

 

ps generic azith comes in white tabs
