Good morning. Was there any change in the production of Devikap drops? They used to have an anise aftertaste. Currently, they have no taste and are fatter. I bought 2 pieces in a pharmacy, the expiration date is good. I'm afraid that maybe the pharmacy sold me the ill-fated series.

Yes, the manufacturer of Devikap has changed its composition, and the drug already has a new Summary of Product Characteristics. Once it was produced on water with an anise aroma, now it contains only MCTs (medium-chain fatty acids). The preparation sold to you is therefore not unfortunate, but has a new formula - there is no reason to worry.
What's more interesting, the price has also changed, and strangely enough, you can buy Devikap for about 20 PLN, which is half as much as the anise one. I wonder if the number of units has decreased.
You all write that it is a pity that there is oil. And it is very necessary. Without the addition of oil/fat, vitamin D3 is not absorbed, and hardly anyone takes an additional tablespoon of oil or olive oil. The manufacturer has taken care of our health.
I was convinced it was broken. something terrible. the taste of the oil. bleeeeee
I also have the same problem, devikap no longer has taste.

To @Daniel San: An alternative to Devikap drops are Juvit D3 drops or over-the-counter Vigantol drops: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/39396/juvit-d3-krople/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/82436/vigantol-krople/apteki
What is the alternative to devikap when it comes to composition, because now you can not drink. Drama! The manufacturer did not even deign to inform about it! Scandal!
I have the impression that I am taking a placebo, a regular oil. I wonder who bothered. The characteristic anise taste to which we are all accustomed, suddenly changed to tasteless oil I ask why?
it is a pity that there is fat in the composition. my son got devikap when he was a toddler precisely because he did not assimilate all the vit. D on fat. He drank milk so he had fat from another "source". Now I bought a new package, he gives it and he frowns that not good ... I tried it and apologized to him that I gave him something completely "different" in taste .... why change something that was good and probably the only preparation on the water?
I also have such, I do not know if it is some trefna batch Lot 031021 with an expiration date to 10/2023, or the manufacturer has changed something in the composition, unfortunately for the worse, because I have the impression that I drink the oil itself.
