Are you having diarreha? Have you eaten very little or not at all lately? Did you eat something that goes through you really fast? I have Crohn's disease and my system works really fast sometimes and I have seen my meds in my poop. I really wouldn't get too worked up over this. If it's bugging you really bad call your Dr.

Is this per chance a type of time released pill?i have this same issue with the oxycontin that I take.In my case, the pills i see are what are called a "ghost matrix?"With time released meds, they are built into a wax matrix which is the part of the time released delivery system.I asked my pain doc about them and they stated that this is perfectly normal and that almost all the med is gone and you are just seeing the "shell' of the delivery system in your stool.If what you are taking is not a time released med, you should see your doc as it could be a digestive problem.marcia

Thank you for your replies!! I called the doc and he said the same thing about the long release pills.... he said it's only the shell... But this allegra is only 12 hours pill not 24 hours. Well he wan's t concern at all.. so I won;t worry about it anymore :)

I LOVE IT////Send the pill back to the manufacturer and ask for a "clean" one.
