Non-Kosher Meds

Question

A gastro prescribed me a digestive enzyme called colotal since eating is painful for me. The issue is it has pig poop in it. Can I take it?

Answer

Shalom! 

Thank you for your question. 

To my knowledge, you are mistaken, and there is no fecal matter in this drug. 

Even If there is, since as I understand it has no taste, it is permitted to take this medicine for your bowel condition.
