Currently having trouble with a bout of sciatica and my GP has given me some co-codamol and some Cuprofen. The Cuprofen are bright pink sugar coated (and sadly needed at the mo!) - is there any damage as far as syns are concerned for sugar coated medication?
The coating of Cuprofen is made from Methyl Cellulose (Methocel E15), Polyethylene Glycol 400 and Mastercote Pink FA0430 (according to my sources, lol)
No sugar !
Though even if it was sugar-coated the calorific content would be so low as to not make any difference to your weight loss, don't worry about it - you being pain free is far more important than a couple of extra calories
