scot47,
Having studied at med school, I can tell you that there are many medications derived from porcine products such as hydrolysed gelatine which is present in the MMR vaccine (against measles/mumps/rubella) and many for Deep Vein Thrombosis. These include Zibor,Dalteparin, Innohep, Clivarine, Alphaparin, Calciparine, Monoparin, Minihep, Pancrease and Nutrizym.
I don't know how many of these are used in Saudi Arabia, but certainly porcine insuln for diabetes is and certain thyroid medicines are.
I can only remember in Turkey where devout Muslims would refuse medication during Ramadan. Best not to tell them. |
