Question
My daughter, who is almost 4 years old, has a throat infection (we visited the doctor today), and he prescribed Moxifen (a syrup prepared by the pharmacist from powder). Is it permissible to use this on Passover? She is supposed to take the medication twice a day for ten days. Thank you and may you be blessed for your good deeds!
Answer
Hello,
Moxifen syrup is not approved for Passover.
If possible, request a prescription for MoxiVit Forte, which is equivalent to Moxifen and is kosher for Passover.
Of course, if there is no other option, it is mandatory to give her the medication. However, be very careful that it does not touch Passover utensils, and it is advisable not to intend to acquire the medication, so it is not in your possession during Passover.
