Who it concerns

For each group, the ingredients of the list that an official classification or rule mentions. Open an ingredient's page to read what the text says. A group with no name does not mean the ingredients were judged to have no effect for it.

No official text covers the recognised ingredients for: pregnancy and breastfeeding, babies and children, read on the label.

For a question about your own situation (pregnancy, child, allergy), show this list to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist: we cannot say whether this product suits you.
