Let's review the ingredients. This test is very important as we will know what chemical compounds we will be taking along with the active ingredient and we need to assess whether there will be any risks to our health.
As we have seen, the active ingredient is Lorazepam is a chemical compound, a benzodiazepine that has anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant and sedative properties and can only be taken if prescribed by a physician.
It is also essential to fully examine the excipients we are going to take and which are listed in order of quantity on the label.
- Although it still suffers from some drawbacks, Microcrystalline Cellulose, labeled as E460 in the food additives list, has recently gained more interest due to its renewability, non-toxicity, economic value, biodegradability, high mechanical properties, high surface area and biocompatibility.
- Lactose monohydrate is a disaccharide sugar that is extracted from milk. Industrially it is a chemical compound in the form of a white powder commonly used as a binding excipient, filling binder and compression aid in pharmaceutical mixtures
- Cornstarch is commonly used by the food and cosmetic industries. In particular, in medicinal tablets it has the function of facilitating the disintegration.
- Magnesium stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid (octadecanoic acid) and in the pharmaceutical industry is an excipient for oral solid dosage forms. Labeled with the number E572 on the list of food additives.
- Amberlite® IRP 88 is a chemical compound, a citrate-resin mosapride complex that is used in the preparation of medicinal tablets to improve oral disintegration and has been shown to be particularly useful for patients with swallowing difficulties.
Conclusion.
Personally, I have sporadically used Control 1 mg to facilitate my sleep, but I only use 1/5 tablet before falling asleep. I have had good results.
Among the excipients I have not noticed any chemical ingredient that has raised health concerns. Strange to say, fortunately there is no Titanium Dioxide almost ubiquitous in medicinal tablets.
