이유

Lactose is a very common tablet filler, gelatin is common in capsules, and shellac is used in some coatings. Vegans generally take prescribed medicine regardless, since The Vegan Society's definition excludes only what is 'possible and practicable' to avoid — but pharmacists can often supply a vegan-suitable brand.

라벨에서 확인할 것

  • Ask the pharmacist for a lactose- and gelatin-free brand
  • 'Vegetarian capsule' or 'HPMC' on the box
  • Never stop prescribed medication over ingredients — ask first

자주 묻는 질문

Is Medicines and tablets certified vegan?

Certification is separate from the recipe. Many products with no animal ingredients carry no vegan mark because the maker will not rule out shared production lines. Check the pack for a registered vegan trademark, and treat the ingredient list as the primary evidence.

Does the answer change between countries?

Often, yes. The same brand name can use different fats, emulsifiers, colours or whey depending on the plant that made it, so always read the local label rather than an answer written for another market.
