Degradation products of PLGA have no effects on lactose intolerant people. Lactose intolerance is due to bacteria metabolizing the lactose in the intestines and releasing CO2. PLGA degradation products are not cleared through the gut; also, the dose of PLGA in any drug product is too small to have an effect in an idividual even if it did cause lactose intolerance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.70.22.220 (talk) 22:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
