Please sign this petition to get drug manufacturers to stop putting food dyes and preservatives in their products.
The inclusion of these items does not enhance the drug properties. Many people are allergic to these items and do not know that these are in a good many drugs to make them pretty. These people have had severe reactions from taking drug with dyes and preservatives included in them and gone into anaphylatic shock...a very dangerous situation in which the throat swells and the person experiences other terrible side effects: trouble breathing, severe hives, tongue swells, goes into seizures, and in some cases dies before treatment can be given.
Urge drug manufacturers to stop this dangerous practice because these items do not enhance the effect of the drug.

We don't need our pills to look good. We need for them to cure us, not try to kill us!

I am highly allergic to food dyes and preservatives...I have had very severe reactions when I have unknowingly taken a drug that included these items. I carry an epipen now for any food and drug reactions...my symptoms after taking drugs with this in included...lips, throat and mouth swelling, trouble breathing, severe hives, passed out and almost died before treatment could be had. No one needs to go through all of this just for a pill to last longer or look prettier.
