Answers:
Your best bet would be to look into alternative medicine/natural remedies!. They're mostly just herbs, so they obviously aren't tested on animals, and have no animal ingredients!. And they usually work pretty well too, at least for mild ailments!. If it's anything severe, obviously go to a doctor and take prescription medicine, there's nothing you can do about that!. Other than the natural products, it wouldn't really be possible to find medications that aren't tested on animals, assuming you live in America!. Companies that make medicine legally have to test their medicines on animals before they can sell it to people in America!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I will look in to this!.
But you also have to look to see if any of these contain animal ingredients as well!. Like neosporin may contain glycerin!. and it may be animal glycerin!.
I suggest you email the companies you use the most!. like Advil and ask them if they test on animals!. their gelcaps/tabs have gelatin idk if their regular tablets have any animal products in them you can ask them too or find an ingredient label on their site!.
advil i found out do test on animals however they stated it is in a 'humane' way!. please be sure to let me know if you find any that are vegan!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I haven't taken any medication in at least 10 years!. For pain relief, I use magnets!. I don't feel the need to have any other treatments because if I have a cold, etc, I know I will get over it in exactly the same amount of time as if I have any medication so I just have lots of vitamin c and rest!. I was recently diagnosed with a rather painful genetic disorder!. Obviously it is incurable but the only treatment recommended is anti-inflamatories!. I couldn't be bothered with all that so started reflexology which eases my symptoms as effectively as anything over the counter could!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Ok, so look on the back of the boxes/ bottles of meds!. There will be a company that produces it!. Neosporin is made by Johnson and johnson, as you will see on the back of the bottle!. Johnson and Johnson DO test their products on animals!. Do this for all the products you can and see what is made by who, and see if the company is on the list on the website below!. When you go out to the shops, you could print the list out, or try to memorise the big bad companies to avoid!.
