Core Tip	Phthalates are widely used as excipients in medications used to treat gastrointestinal disease. Research into the adverse effects associated with certain phthalates continues to produce uncertainty regarding the safety of their use in medications. Gastroenterologists should be aware of the potential harm of specific phthalates so that they can make informed decisions of whether the benefits of the medication outweigh the potential risks. Additional studies using human populations will help elucidate if regulatory bodies should mandate the use of alternative excipients.
