Stop the use of gelatine in medications
I am a strict vegetarian,one of the main things I have an issue with is the use of gelatine on the capsules of medication, I have a note on my file to say I’m vegetarian,this regularly gets overlooked so I need to check with the pharmacy everytime I collect a prescription to ensure it is vegetarian.
I would like to see the use of gelatine capsules stopped and alternative ingredients being used. Many supplement company’s are using vegan capsules, I would like to see this being rolled out to all medications. Each prescription I have collected they have been able to give me a vegetarian alternative so I would like to see the use of gelatine and animal products removed from all medications.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the ingredients of medication are a matter for their manufacturers, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
