| A vegetarian's dilemma I found out yesterday that the mefenamic acid capsules I have been taken for a few years to deal with period pain contain gelatine, in the coating. There is no way I could take the powder from the capsule, because I think mefenamic acid has effects on your digestive system.
I've bitched before about animal rights activists with diabetes or asthma or some other illness which requires regular medication. I'm not an animal rights activist, but it distresses me that I am probably committing hypocrisy. Luckily my period finished yesterday, so I don't have to come up with the answer for another month or so.
What do you think? I'm now going to look for different forms of mefenamic acid on the net. |
