BENADRYL ISN'T VEGAN!!! what other medicines aran't???
i was looking at the benadryl website for umm absolutely no reason and saw:
Do any of the BENADRYL? products contain animal derived ingredients?
Yes, all of the BENADRYL? products contain some animal derivatives or animal by-products.
i don't take medicine often but what other commonly used medicines are non vegan???
Answers:
many pills contain gelatin, particularly "gel-caps", but also some others that you might not suspect. I had an entire cabinet of pills that I gave to my non-veg friends when I discovered this--including normal tylenol tablets and multivitamins!
check all labels before buying.
i dunno but vegans are soooo healthy they don't need any benadryl
All medicines were at one point tested on animals, so I don't think any are truly 100% vegan, depends on how you define it though.
Insulin used to be derived from animals' pancreases, and some still is today, but for the most part insulin is now from genetically engineered bacteria.[1]
Premarin is derived from mares[2].
Heparin is derived from animal tissues[3].
There are probably a host of others, anything with porcine or bovine on the label will be from animal sources. The label of any medication should give the details on whether or not it is derived from animals.
any gell kind of aspirin isnt because the coating has gelatin in it
anything with a gelcap or liqui-gel is made with animal by-products.
you can go to this site to get all kinds of supplements that are guaranteed to be vegan. all of their products are! i love it and am on the women's hybrids. this company also created and patented a non-animal product liquigel capsule for their resist fatty acid supplement! even their protein shakes are made with pea protein rather than soy or whey! best of all, i get everything wholesale and you can too. just click the contact link at the bottom of the page on the website to talk to the consultant.
