Pantethine

How does Pantethine work?

Pantethine might increase the concentrations of chemicals that lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides.

Are there safety concerns?

Pantethine appears to be safe for most people. Pantethine can cause nausea, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort.

Do not take pantethine if:
  • You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • You are scheduled for surgery in the next two weeks. Pantethine might increase the risk of bleeding.
