Can a true vegan us ANY prescription drugs?!
Can a true vegan us ANY prescription drugs?
Since ALL prescription drugs at some point in their development cycle were tested on animals. And since all Pharmaceutical company profits partially go to animal testing, should vegans totally avoid all medication?

It is my opinions that the ones who do are hypocrites, because they allow themselves to benefit from animal exploitation.

Not all pharmaceutical companies have done animal testing or donate towards animal testing. Furthermore, some did you animal testing have stopped. You just need to do the research to find out what companies are good or not. You also have to check what ingredients ate in the pills, whether prescription or not. You can be vegan and still have medications. My family physician knows my family will not take medications with animal by-products in them, so he doesn't prescribe anything before checking. My daughter had an injury and it was an ordeal at the hospital, last weekend. One doctor wouldn't respect the fact she wouldn't take anything that was not a vegetarian approved medication. A nurse in the physician assistant was extremely impressed with my daughter and called another doctor and he prescribed medication my daughter could and would take. You can make it work if you want too.
yep & many do
When it's about staying healthy, yes.
Dang, I just took two prescription pain pills, guess I am a murderer, oh well!!! At least i'm not in pain anymore, thats the important thing
Your statement isn't true, by the way.
Grab your PDR (including the OTC compendium) and do your homework - then let me know the percentage of medications there that have never been tested scientifically. You'll be surprised. So, no, there are a larger number of medications that have not been tested on animals than there are ones that have.
