Medicine With Haraam Ingredients

If there is no adequate alternative for the product that contains Haraam ingredients, and the product is prescribed by a reliable physician, it will be permissible to use the product.

It is not permissible for a physician to prescribe medication having Haraam ingredients if there is an adequate alternative.

In the case of a non-Muslim physician, the Muslim patient should inform the physician of the ruling of the Shari'ah and request him to take cognisance of that. There should be no excuse assumed for lack of knowledge and awareness. The Muslim must inform.
