Endocrine disruptors are substances that may interfere with the body’s hormonal system. Even in small doses, some of these compounds are linked to developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife.

iChooseRx filters out medications containing known or suspected endocrine disruptors to help users reduce their exposure to these potentially harmful substances.

The following ingredients are among those we filter out under this category:

• Atrazine
• Atenolol
• DEET
• DDT
• Estrone
• Meprobamate
• Bisphenol A (BPA)
• Dioxins
• Parabens / Paraben
• Perchlorate
• PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)
• Phthalates
• Plasticizers
• Phytoestrogens
• PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers)
• PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls)
• Triclosan
• Trimethoprim
• Retinol
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Salicylic acid
• Glyphosate
• Cadmium
• Lead

Because the research on endocrine disruptors is still evolving and exposures may be cumulative, we take a conservative approach by using a blanket filter for any mention of these compounds.
