gelatin in medicines

[Guest Singh]

VJKK VJKF,

Just have recently been prescribed a medicine in a form of soft gelatin capsules for a health condition ive had for many years. I've checked and there isnt an alternative form.

I wanted to ask would this break someones rehat or should they not be allowed to take Amrit?

You can request a veggie friendly alternative. Not the end of the world though... It might be if you were to stop taking them...

Can you tell us the condition? (or PM if that feels more comfortable) - there are posters here with a lot of knowledge on natural medicine and they might be able to suggest something you haven't seen/heard.

get your prescription and take it down to be filled and ask the pharmacist because ultimately he/she will be able to source vegicaps ...docs just have a screen in front them which gives them the generic items... many people cannot eat gelatin, muslims, jews, vegetarians , vegans  I'm sure there will be an option for you

DO NOT take the gelatin. Their are alternatives. If you tell us the medicine then we can advise you. It is better to take ayurvedic/natural medicines instead of allopathic ones which only provide temporary symptom management with a whole host of side effects. It is better to cure it rather than go to these glorified drug reps (aka 'doctors') that put profits before patients. Western medicine is just a big racket of the pharmaceutical companies that prey on people's suffering to extort as much money as possible by creating and prolonging the disease state. If you want something effective ditch all of this and go back to ancient systems of medicine that have been blackwashed to protect the interests and monopoly of the pharmaceutical corporations.

pray to God before you take them to bless and purify the medicine and gelatine.  apologise for eating the gelatine, ask His permission to do so, ask Him to stop you from taking them if it is wrong or guide you away form them.  Pray for the animal who suffered to be blessed.  ask him for good health so you can serve Him better.

in this day of vegan alternatives, why don't GPS and pharmacists offer up vegan friendly alternatives?

Because as jkv penji says, they only can offer what they have in front of them. They don’t offer vegan friendly alternatives unless requested. Or it maybe the cost.
