Corega Total and Corega Super. TotalThe manufacturer of these two products, the laboratory GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), has chosen to stop producing and marketing their creams to detect harmful side effects to health in those users not using the product adequately.

These two products contain zinc in their composition; intake this metal during a period of long time may lead to potential health risks. This fact has been demonstrated, and is what has led to the laboratory to manufacture two creams fixation.

zinc is not absorbed by the body when it is in the oral cavity, but once is swallowed and passes to the stomach. The problem isn’t in the reduced amounts; for example, when the product is to push the gums on the prosthesis and us swallow, there is no problem.The risk begins when there is an excess in the application of the cream or is used more than once a day (because the teeth or the prosthesis has not placed well, and must be to do it again).

While in this article I don’t want to be alarmist, it is worth being attentive to the symptoms that indicate that zinc has a presence in the body above the tolerated: sense of asleep Member ”, problems walking, poor balance and anaemia.It is also important to point out that this decision has volunteered by the laboratory;the Ministry of health has not ordered to withdraw the product, or others who have the same composition, that will continue to be in the shops. Corega brand will continue to be present in many other free zinc. products

The communiqué of the laboratory

reads: if someone is concerned about being able to use the product in excess, must cease to use it, talk to your doctor and switch to an alternative fixative without zinc.
