Assalamualycum,

My brother,was suffering from very high fever and weekness,when doctor gave him some Tablets and capsules he refused to take capsules because he told that the outer coating of Capsules are made from GILLATIN.
And Gillatin is extracted from the Fats of Pig.

So please let me know whether it is true??

Sis I think that you can take pills whether they have animal products or not for medical reasons,but you can get alternative from your local pharmacy.

I pray that Inshallah hope the akhi,feels better soon.

You can also break the gelatin shell and give your brother the grains inside.

Yes i agree but brother must give the grains with sugar or some other sweet thing otherwise he will have trouble.

may Allah protect him.

Salaam,

Call your pharmacist and ask if the same medication can be given in a liquid or a tablet form. It would simply be a matter of the chemist having to grind the compounds himself instead of the ready made capsule from the drug company. If it is a time-relase medication the chemist should be able to alter the dosage but still meet the needed medicine.
I am a mommy and not a physician so please telephone the doctor and pharmacy.
