i think this was touched on a while back maybe. but does anyone know of a specific pharmaceutical company that makes vegan brands of meds, or a website that lists vegan meds?<br><br><br><br>
specifically, i'm looking for thyroxin and maybe some form of birth control.<br><br>
i think the thyroxin i use now is probably ok because it's synthetic, but i'd like to know for sure. just because it's synthetic doesn't mean it doesn't contain any animal ingredients. and as for B/C, i've heard some types of estrogen used in meds comes from horse urine <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:"> so i'd definately like to make sure a brand is ok before even considering it.<br><br><br><br>
or: are there other alternatives? i know there are new methods like where something is inserted under the skin on the arm or other such things like that, do any of these work, are they safe, are they vegan, are they available in Canada, are they expensive, etc etc.<br><br><br><br>
anyone? i'm really angry at the fact that i gave up so much and worked so hard to change my lifestyle only to have to undermine all that every night by taking meds that may be unvegan.
