Most of you know I'm a new Muslim, and I usually use the search for my questions, but I couldn't find this one (maybe I didn't try hard enough heh):

Is it okay to take medicine that has alcohol in it?

Thanks in advance.

salaam sister,

I did see a fatwa last month when i was sick. It was on a question and answer site...which has disappeared now i go to look for it!

What i do remember was that the medicine had to have no more than 17% alcohol....and there had to be no other non-alcoholic alternatives.
