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.
