To what degree does medicine need to be kosher (not regarding pesach)? Most medicines are a random series of active ingredients with little meaning to the non medical professional - but what about "chocolate flavored" etc tablets or liquids?
I know that here in Australia there exists a kosher book for regular food, but not one for medicine. On the other hand i recall hearing that Strepsil lozenges (sore throat) that used to be kosher are not any more.
So, points of interest are:
- flavouring
- degree of importance (heart medicine / sleep pills / stimulants / sore throat lozenges)
- age?
