1. Is it permissible to take fasting ease pills on Shabbat? 2. What should be done for someone who cannot fast on Tisha B'Av and needs to perform Havdalah, but there is no one to drink the wine? What can be done?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

1. Only if the pill is mixed with food before Shabbat, and it is not apparent that it is medicine.

2. If possible, perform it with grape juice. If not, eat without Havdalah.
