General
...Orally, no adverse effects have been reported.
However, a thorough safety evaluation has not been conducted. Some coral calcium supplements contain lead (9598).
Surgically, coral is generally well tolerated. However, it can cause infections (10739,10741).
Immunologic ...Surgically, coral can cause infections. However, it doesn't carry the risk of transmitting infections such as HIV, hepatitis C, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The local infection rate was 4% for coral grafts as compared to the bone allograph infection rate of 20% (10739,10741).
General
...Orally, proteolytic enzymes are generally well tolerated.
See specific monographs for detailed safety information related to individual proteolytic enzymes.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Gastrointestinal upset.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Topically: Allergic reactions.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, some patients taking proteolytic enzymes may have gastrointestinal complaints (101517).
Immunologic ...Proteolytic enzymes are commonly found in laundry detergents and pre-spotter products. Rarely, protease specific IgE positive tests possibly related to these products have occurred. Exposure may be airborne or topical (102705). In addition, in case reports, occupational exposure to the airborne proteolytic enzyme pepsin has resulted in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis or asthma (102706,102707).
