Nothing at all . Some drugs are prepared with a sustained release coating so after release of the drug some patients do excrete the coating which resembles and feels like the whole tablet. I have many patients with the same kind of apprehension. If you want to be very safe you can change over to other standard brands like cetapin xr 1gm / Gluconorm.
Hope i have answered your query!
